History
Jonathan began his photography career as an actor trying to find someone who could take Hollywood quality headshots in the Silicon Valley area. Not finding any, he decided 10 years ago to take them himself. Soon he started capturing fellow working actors seen on film and television. While there are many great portrait photographers in the Bay Area, headshot photography is a special niche. The need to convey an actors potential and emotion needs to be captured in such a way that the casting director is compelled to bring the actor in for an audition. As a working actor, Jonathan regularly meets with Artios and Emmy winning Casting Directors from the San Francisco and Los Angeles area which gives him a unique perspective. Feedback on actor headshots from these professionals is invaluable as they convey the current trends, characteristics, and do's/don'ts that these casting directors look for when casting a project. Rest assured, Photography is his day job :-)
