Jonathan Straight is a street photographer specialising in candid, black and white images of people in the midst of what they do every day. These images are often striking, story telling and the basis of conjecture and conversation. Everyone has their favourite and everyone should have at least one on their wall.
Jonathan left school at 18 with a couple of A levels and after a while founded a company which became hugely successful. He left the business in 2014 and began exploring photography, something he had not done since his childhood. Falling into the street photography genre by accident and using skills learned in the home dark room at his late father's side, he began to produce work in a style of his own. As thousands started following on social media, he started printing some of his works in limited editions.
