JONATHAN Freeman
Photographer and Architect in Richmond, United Kingdom
Status: I currently work part-time as a Professional Photographer & Architect, and I am someone who constantly works with design and recognises creativity, beauty, proportion, visual composition and layout. These skills naturally flow into my personal photography work, something I choose to explore and develop in my other time. Being outdoors and on location allows me to spend time in a different environment, where I can refresh my mind and give myself the freedom to observe, discover and express myself through the creation of imagery. I currently focus my photography towards architecture & interiors, as well as outdoor photography, landscapes and nature, and I also love travelling abroad and capturing images in new, interesting and exciting places.
Vision: I wish to focus and build upon my personal style and output of home-grown architecture and interior photography which includes private homes, educational buildings, commercial or community premises. Whilst growing this side of my portfolio, I will continue to venture outdoors and travel in my spare time, photographing landscapes, wildlife and the natural world which I love to explore, and enhances my own physical and emotional connection with nature.
Mission: Importantly this is to continually evolve, improve develop, and learn through my personal experiences, and more importantly enjoy and relish what I do as I progress further towards my goals in both photography and life itself. I wish to contribute to the world by capturing intriguing and revealing images - moments, locations, emotions, the present & past, whilst giving myself the opportunity to truly engage with what I see and also make an impact on how people view and understand the world we live in.
My Experience: My photography extends back to a young age when I cherished my first camera & lens at the age of nine. I continued to develop my interest in photography during my lengthy studies in architecture before qualifying in 2005. My love of travelling in Europe as a young boy has extended to other parts of the world - I have undertaken tours to South America, Nepal, South Korea, Arizona USA, Israel, Africa & South Africa, and most recently to parts of Russia and Georgia.
In 2016 I completed the course - NCFE Level 1 Award in Photography, which is a UK National recognised Council for Further Education.
