“I have had the pleasure of working with Jonathan and Gaia Visual on a number of projects.
Jonathan has always been extremely professional, able to understand the organisation's needs and delivered on time and according to plan.
More importantly, Jonathan is always a pleasure to work with, making projects fun and easy to manage, even when things get tricky.
Would definitely recommend Jonathan and Gaia Visual for your photo/video projects.”
Giles Hutchins, Founder - Regenerative Leadership Coach, Author, Speaker
"Jonathan is a gifted visual storyteller, vital for the times we are in.
I have worked with him and hired his skills on a number of different projects over the years and always found him to be not just expertly brilliant in his film/photography but also super-flexible and deeply passionate about the issues that matter.
It's an honour to work alongside him.”
Anastasiya Nurzhynska, Behaviour Scientist, Chief of Social and Behaviour Change, UNICEF Poland.
We worked with Jonathan on a Photography for Social Change course for UNICEF Ghana staff and stakeholders.
Jonathan tailored modules and delivered trainings to improve the skills of frontline officers to capture human interest stories through photography.
Jonathan is ready to invest time in preparation, he is an excellent presenter and very talented photographer. He adapted quickly to the local context and build rapport with the diverse group of participants.
It will be a pleasure to work with Jonathan again.”
