About me
Hi I'm Jonathan. I'm a photographer. I'm based in Christchurch, New Zealand.
I've had experience with model shoots and events (parties). I also have a large number of stunning landscape pictures. I'm very enthusiastic, flexible, and relaxed.
I don't have any plans to specialize but I'm addicted to: Glamorous, Alternative (Gothic, Punk, Emo, Vampire, Dark, Piercing), Landscapes, Artistic Nudes, and Party photography.
My aim is to take spectacular photos that are different, have impact, and are creative. I have two main goals: to take photos that impress and achieve what was intended; and if possible bring out the subjects personality in the images.
I also want to use my talent in the most open, honest, and understanding way. I dislike being in photos. If you don't like a photo I've taken of you, my rule is: if I can't convince you it's good, and you still want it deleted, then it's gone. Of course, I'm a perfectionist, so most bad pictures I catch and delete fast.
There are a few things that I won't do. I won't take pictures of someone without their knowledge, or of anything illegal. Although I like photos of alternative people there is a limit to how alternative I'll go... ask.
Free portfolio shoots for aspiring models
To practice portrait shots with new and interesting people, I'm happy to take pictures with models for free (for the first shoot) if we can both use the pictures. I'm open to ideas for shoots. Models receive a CD of the pictures and joint copyright
Personality plus
I love taking pictures of people in their own environment- capturing the subjects' personality in an image and helping peoples self esteem one click at a time.
Punkin' it
I'm addicted to taking pictures of unique, hardcore, alternative people.
Artistic nude
I'm comfortable taking artistic nude pictures and with the help of good lighting I can achieve amazing results.
Couple shoots
Want a picture of you and your significant other that doesn't involve alcohol, a bad hair day or screaming kids? Hit me up, I'm happy to take themed ones too, or artistic.
Parties
I enjoy the challenge of capturing moments of unscripted joy and happiness at parties. Everything from corporate events to children's parties.
Inspiring landscapes
I have a collection of stunning landscape pictures. To see more check out my deviantart pageg (http://nightwatchman111.deviantart.com). If you see one a picture you like I'd be happy to sell you a print (cheaper than deviantart).
