Jonathan Jacob (Jonathan Jacob Photography Ltd)

With over 13 years professional experience, in demanding and diverse situations, Jonathan Jacob Photography Ltd offers clients exciting, dynamic and creative work that is unique to them.

Jonathan was born and bred in Sunderland, with a love for SAFC and savoury dips!

He achieved a 1st class BA (Hons) in photography after majoring in Art and Design at college.

Jonathan's first job was Picture Desk Manager with a press agency which supplied major national newspapers and magazines. Each day he assessed and wired over around 100 pictures – probably the best apprenticeship in the world for sharpening the eye, not just for composition but for the story.

Very soon Jonathan moved from processing photographs to taking them, and never got over the delight of seeing his pictures looking back at him from national newspapers and glossy magazines.

An unusual opportunity presented when Jonathan was given the chance of becoming a Police Photographic Officer. A world away from ‘the mags and the rags’, police photography demands high technical and interpretive skills. The remit was wide – from crime scenes to aerial photography, from public disorder to surveillance, and more. Each picture not only captured vital evidence but told the story.

Now, with 15 years of high calibre photo-experience Jonathan Jacob Photography Ltd produces imagery for the likes of Panasonic, Maximuscle and 4Networking to name but a few.
