Jonathan Ducrest

Jonathan Ducrest, an award-winning photographer whose work bridges the natural and urban worlds, was born and raised amid the striking mountain vistas of Switzerland. His passion for photography was first ignited with a simple point-and-shoot camera gifted by his parents, capturing the dramatic scenery and atmospheric conditions of the Swiss Alps. These early encounters with nature’s grandeur laid the foundation for a lifelong artistic journey.

In 1998, Ducrest relocated to the vibrant heart of New York City, where the towering skyscrapers and architectural wonders of the metropolis broadened his visual horizons. Drawing parallels between the awe-inspiring forces of nature and the bold lines of urban landscapes, he honed a style that seamlessly integrates natural beauty with human ingenuity.

Ducrest’s creative evolution continued with his move to Los Angeles in 2013. The West Coast’s diverse topography—spanning arid deserts, sweeping ocean horizons, and eclectic architectural styles—provided fresh inspiration and artistic challenges. His cinematic sensibilities and masterful compositions quickly established him as a leading figure in landscape, travel, and urban photography.
