Client Experiences
Our staff is diverse in skin tone, age, and comfort in front of the camera—Jonathan captured them all with kindness and skill. His work day-of was efficient and flexible, and the final edited photos arrived promptly. The staff have been overwhelmingly thrilled with the results, and many have asked that he return for their events and other projects.
Ellie Winter / Digital Communications Manager, The Barr Foundation
[W]hat is truly amazing is the experience he creates and his ability to capture people and moments in a deeply meaningful way. Often I see things differently when I get pictures back. He really spends the time to partner with people to understand them and their stories.
Amanda Rock / VP of Platform, Curiosity & Co.
[I] am constantly amazed not only by his brilliance and his eye for the poignant detail that pulls the picture together, but for his ability to engender comfort in his subject. No matter the expression I gave his lens, it was always from a position of absolute ease.

About JPW

I photograph people within structured environments—workplaces, organizations, performance spaces, and communities.
Informed by my background in theater direction and performance, my practice moves between observation and direction, bringing attentiveness, timing, and responsiveness to each assignment.
Available for editorial, institutional, cultural, and deadline-driven commissioned work.
