Jonathan knowles is an advertising and still life photographer, he has photographed campains for many famous production companies such as cadburys and budweiser. his still life work is all very simple yet punchy and effective especially his drinks campains such as his guiness advertising posters with the three pint glasses. this campain has grown to become huge. a lot of his work is ugley simple and minimalistic where he will simply have a very plain background with a bottle well lit in the foreground, maybe a bit of liquid thrown onto the bottle but then he often ggoes to the other extreme where he will have a bottle with a very colourful, vibrant, multi coloured background with crazy colours all over the place depending on which type of product he is shooting. i beleive he is very good at picking his audience and knows whether too make a product look exciting and bold or simply classy, sophisticated. often his work is edited in a post production program like PS but un-like pother photographers he does not hire a separate post production crew, he edits it all himself. i think his work stands out as it doesnt has many similarities to other still life advertising.
