Style
Jonathan’s bird portraits are defined by their softness and sensitivity. Rather than isolating animals from their environment, he composes each frame to echo the natural harmony between the bird and its surroundings. The result is a poetic balance of form, color, and character — images that feel less like wildlife documentation and more like intimate studies of avian personality and poise.
