Jonathan Donovan is a London-based portrait and reportage photographer working for a wide variety of clients and publications in the UK & internationally, with an interest in presenting important social issues in alternative ways.
His photographs are a space in which he can get close and observe people interacting and relating to each other and to their worlds, in a way that would otherwise be quite private.
Jonathan’s latest exhibition ‘Gifted’ is a series of portraits of talented young people determined to give back to their communities, in collaboration with two local charities, Fish Tank and Global Generation, and presented by King’s Cross.
Recent projects “No Place Like Home”, “Single Parent Strength” and “On Collage” have been shown at St Martin-in-the-Fields, Kings Cross, The Young Vic’s exhibition space Platform Southwark, and The Royal Academy of Art.
No Place Like Home was acquired by The Geffrye Museum for their permanent collection.
Elsewhere, Jonathan's work has been featured by The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph, BBC London Live, BBC Online, The Big Issue, Spiegel Online, The Associated Press, Huff Post, Kiosk Magazine & The Manchester International Festival.
Before becoming a photographer, Jonathan reported for The BBC World Service in east and south east Africa, and produced & presented Focus on Africa and Network Africa at Bush House. He speaks fluent Swahili.
Jonathan is available for project work and commissions. Please get in touch for more information.
