JONATHAN WORTH - BRITISH PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
Jonathan works from London and New York as a freelance commercial photographer. His work has appeared in numerous publications and exhibitions, and in the permanent public collection at the National Portrait Gallery.
All current exhibition work and his extensive archive of commissioned portraits are available upon request and most are available as limited edition prints.
His work developing new and sustainable working practices has won acclaim from a wide audience, as have his lectures; both on his work, and on levering the social web.
It was in recognition of this work that in 2009 Jonathan was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts.
I’ve only photographed three people that specifically stated that they didn’t want any retouching doing at all, no make-up, no digital, nothing.
One was Jude Law, one was Casey Affleck and the other was Heath Ledger.
I don’t suppose it matters at all really. It’s just one of those stupid things that stick in my mind.
Heath was lovely and it was great just messing about with him for a day. Most of these pictures were taken walking between locations, they really are moments between portraits – the staged moments were rubbish.
Just the way it goes sometimes.
