It seems to be the discovery aspect of close-up photography that attracts
Jonathan most at this point. He mentions the textures and contrasts that the
world reveals “when you really look at it” through a macro lens.
The drawback of capturing the images you see here: “It’s
time-consuming…just the repetition of placing them in an area I want them
to be.”
At 14, Jonathan already has compiled an impressive list of accomplishments,
including publication, stock and print sales, and gallery exhibits. Though it’s
a little early for him to be thinking definitively about a career—“I
don’t have a specific interest,” he says of the art forms he’s
experiencing—he expects photography to play a primary role in whatever
the future holds.
