Jonathan Knowles

Jonathan Knowles is a finalist in the 2009 Campaign Photo Awards. His short-listed image is in the Alcoholic drinks section.

The selected photograph was taken for the Guinness ‘ Greatness in Every Drop’ campaign, commissioned by Saatchi and Saatchi Cape Town.

We are pleased to upload Jonathan’s latest drinks campaign for Miller, shot for Leo Burnett London. Refreshing values and heroic product shots were at the heart of a campaign all about the capturing of the Draft flavour within the bottle.

Art directed by Tony Malcolm, Guy Moore & Trevor Webb.

Tick-tock, it’s Gordon’s Gin time. More refreshing drinks photography from Jonathan, which also includes some elegant still life elements. The ideas were created by Ed Tilbrook and Richard Ince for Arc Worldwide.

Jonathan’s latest personal work is both beautiful and unique. We love the variety of colours and patterns, giving a fresh new perspective on Jonathan’s liquid photography.

We have also just started a Facebook fan page, which everyone’s welcome to join. Come and say hello, and leave us some feedback on the latest images.

Refreshing cider for those sunny, and not so sunny days. Here is Jonathan’s latest drinks shot for the Irish brand, which is running on posters up and down Britain at the moment.

‘Jonathan Knowles, photographe, imagine Desperados Original’ is the credit written in large letters on the first image from latest French ad campaign for Desperados, shot by Jonathan Knowles. It was a pleasure to work with the art director François Lesaint and creative director Guillaume Gamain from the Paris agency Dufresne Corrigan Scarlett.

Desperados beer has a strong brand identity in France, and utilizing Jonathan’s style, we created a high-energy campaign emphasizing the excitement you get from the dash of tequila contained in the product. Flying paint, dynamic light and bright colours abound, while keeping focus on the refreshing taste of the beer… just how we like it. 

Jonathan has shot his eleventh album sleeve for the Ministry of Sound. We hope you agreed, it's still life photography at its best. 

The Ministry has released Chilled II 1991 – 2009, the long awaited sequel to 2008’s Chilled, which is another fantastic and truly comprehensive round up of classic chillout tracks from Groove Armada, Coldplay and many others.

Jonathan shot the new image, featuring the Ministry logo submerged in water, and provides The Ministry of Sound with another iconic album sleeve.

The Creative Director was Simon Moore and the designer was Simon Helm. Retouching was by Jack Lowe.

Jonathan has produced more of his hallmark liquid work for the launch of two new ready mixed canned drinks from Diageo, Gordon’s and Tonic and Smirnoff and Cranberry.

Rob Fletcher, creative director of Isobel, created the Instant Evening drinks campaign, aimed at people who may enjoy a spirit drink with a mixer, but would not consider themselves to be high enough consumers to justify the purchase of a whole bottle. The images feature the cans dropping into liquid symbolising either Tonic or Cranberry Juice along with the ingredients required for the perfect drink.

Graphic still life, elegant, well art directed with a strong simple concept (thank you Ray), and beautifully executed (thank you Jonathan). All the things we like in a great advertising campaign.

Here is Jonathan’s latest campaign, shot for McCann Erickson Ireland with art director Ray Swan. The bottles are each given a personality, and their varied lives are simply demonstrated.

KY Jelly presented a different challenge to the types of fast-moving liquid that we usually shoot, but that gave Jonathan the chance to sculpt physically as well as with light!

The macro image shot for the new packaging for this iconic brand, familiar to doctors and lovers the World over, gives a real sense of the sensual texture of the product.

Jonathan worked directly with the design department at Johnson and Johnson in New York, with design team Aimee Sealfon and Cherith Victorino
