Director of Photography
“Jonathan is an intuitive and sensitive DP. In difficult shooting situations, he displays equal parts compassion and artistry and has a deft ability to take a director’s guidance and blend it with his own, unique eye for the frame. The reward of working with him comes in the edit room. You’ll always find, woven among the shots you knew you wanted, a few delicate surprises—a tender emotional note or a graceful aesthetic touch—that make your footage sing.”
—Faye Lederman, Director, Women of the Wall
