Biography

Currently in the final stages of editing the first ever high resolution Virtual Reality Mt Everest film following a Nepalese climber attempting a no-bottled oxygen ascent of the mountain- a story never shot before. All captured in 3D VR as well as 360 3D imagery promising some of the wildest and most immersive virtual reality content ever shot. Jonathan specialises in award winning high mountain productions and remote areas of the world that very few can access; bringing cutting edge human adventure to the big screen.

This high level of expertise has made him one of the most sought after creatives in his industry and seen him work with the world's top athletes for over a decade; embarking on pioneering ascents to visually document expeditions in the Alps, Patagonia, Alaska and the Himalayas. It's a method that puts authentic climbing at its heart: an increasingly rare but refreshing approach to adventure media in a climate where style is valued more than substance.

A keen interest in modern technology and his ability to adapt it to harsh environments has led him to work on prestigious projects such as Google Mont Blanc Virtual Reality as well as BBC Planet Earth 2 (where he also featured as the Behind the Scenes subject), and dozens of major names such as Red Bull TV, The North Face, and Discovery Channel.

Jon is also the first person to have taken 3D VR filming technology to the America's Cup race boats.

A highly accomplished Alpinist, Jonathan continues to push himself to shoot what has never been shot before. His ability to also carry camera equipment as well as use it in such demanding circumstances is what sets him apart from the rest and why he has also been the subject of multi award winning films in the past.
