Jonathan has worked for a wide range of corporate and NGO clients - from the UN, Save the Children, UNICEF, and the World Health Organization, to Longines, Calvin Klein, SGS, Bass Breweries, Peak Oil Group, Orient Express Hotels, The Science Museum and The Royal College of Physicians.

He has shot portraits, lifestyle, hotels, restaurants, bars and spas internationally for clients such as Time Out, Food Illustrated, and Le Monde 2 Magazine.

Inspired by the process of discovering and developing his own creativity, he has also co-founded a small NGO called A Child’s Eye, devising and facilitating photography workshops with street children in Jakarta and young people affected by ethnic violence in Borneo. The children’s photographs are moving, vivid and direct and have been exhibited at the National Galley of Indonesia and published in an acclaimed book.
