Photographer

Jon Welsh has been a professional photographer for over 30 years, with a passion for photography that began at the age of 8. His fascination with capturing moments started during a holiday in Amsterdam, where he used a 35mm Instamatic camera and became enthralled with the process.

Jon is a self-taught photographer who began his journey in earnest with a Yashica 35mm camera loaded with Kodachrome 64 in Mexico in 1983. This experience solidified his decision to pursue Photography as a career.

He subsequently honed his skills by assisting leading Advertising Photographers in London during the mid 80’s, mastering the use of large format film. His successful career encompassing the Advertising, Publishing, and Editorial sectors, with notable projects for the Royal Navy Recruitment campaign, Sony, Motel Rocks, AA Publishing, Visit Britain, and other blue-chip companies.
