John Lonsdale

Hi my names John Lonsdale, I’m 32 years old from Manchester.
I got into photography in about 2016 the year before my daughter was born up until then i had never used a full frame camera in my life let alone ventured in to the realms of photoshop and other such likes of the adobe products.
My whole reason for getting into photography is my daughter, so i could capture those special moments and from that it has just evolved.

up until lockdown most of my work has been for commercial projects mainly in the sports sector for local councils and governing bodies.

Cytech - (head mechanic at Manchester velodrome) this is my normal job

Photography - self taught and influenced by a number of people like Jason Lanier, Gary Fong due to them shooting on the sony system

Editing - self taught but again influenced by a number of people like Aron Nace from Phlean, kelly Robaitelle, Tim Burton. A couple of my favourite film directors are the likes of christopher Nolan, David Fincher, shane meadows and Martin scorsese.

This is not something i have ever looked into until recently but one of my targets for next year will be to try and get my work featured in local photography club and exhibition that they run.
