Jonathan Knowles

Jonathan shot the newly designed Guinness pint glasses for Saatchi & Saatchi London. As always, attention to detail went into producing perfect spritzing, along with the settle and surge to create that ready to drink appeal. We are very impressed with the look and feel of the glass, so hats off to JKR for the design. We were a little nervous having the only eight glasses in the world at the studio before they were mass produced, but we did manage to complete the job without breaking any. And the kegs and pumps were left here for another couple of weeks, so several other clients were able to enjoy an Extra Cold pint of Guinness (in an old style glass of course, as the new ones were under wraps).

Jonathan worked on this Heineken campaign for iris London. We’re sure this is the dream contents of most student lads’ fridges - dancing girls and refreshing pints of Heineken on tap!

We feel very lucky to be working on the ongoing production of KY packaging with Johnson & Johnson New York. Here is the latest release, a decadent chocolate and refreshing strawberry Kissable Sensation. It’s enough to make you blush just writing about it.

These images were a collaboration between Jonathan Knowles and the very talented illustrators Kai & Sunny. We hope you agree, we feel the end result is pretty sensual.

Thought we’d update everyone on our latest awards from Graphis & Lurzer’s Archive. We are honoured to be in the top five awarded photographers in the Graphis Photography Annual 2010, as well as having a great selection of six images making it into this years Lürzer’s Archive 200 Best Advertising Photographers 2010.  

When you’re next in the newsagents in London, check out Jonathan’s latest editorial front cover for Time Out’s ‘London’s Best Shops guide’. 

If you have been anywhere near a train station over the past couple of weeks, you have probably seen Jonathan’s latest posters for The Times, shot for CHI & Partners. Executed with Jonathan’s clean style, these great caricature eggs of the England squad were illustrated by artist Elliott Quince. Let’s hope these players are still in the competition after Wednesday’s match!

We’ve just shot an exciting new campaign for Guinness Black Lager with Saatchi & Saatchi London. The emphasis is on cold and refreshing, with the bottle being the main focus of the ad.

Getting into the spirit of this year's football World Cup, Jonathan's latest still life personal work is based around the makarapa hats that he found on a visit to Cape Town. The top supporter's accessory, these modified, decorated miner's hard hats are unique to South African football fans. They are sure to be prominent during the competition this summer, where the sounds, language, moves and styles of supporters in the stands are likely to be more colourful and creative than the action on the pitch.

Jonathan has shot six still life images of different makarapas, each in front of a national flag created with light.

Here are some thirst quenching new drinks images for Diageo and Schweppes summer campaign. We shot Pimm’s, Smirnoff Vodka and Gordon’s Gin spirits with Tonic, Lemonade & Cola mixers. The flags give it a great British summer feel. All we need to do now is sit back and wait for the sun to start shining! With over 2000 poster sites, it should be up somewhere near you.

The summer edition of Luxure magazine is out and features lots of great images from Jonathan; our favourite being Jonathan’s London Beauty story with Eva Bohatova from Storm, make-up from Karen Mason at Debbie Walters Management, and hair by Robert Frampton. Beautiful jewels, with a hint of London scenery give a true touch of luxury.
