Born at a very young age and already suspicious of sunsets, Jonathan Knoblock is a world-famous photographer whose work has been described as “visually stunning,” “emotionally confusing,” and “definitely taken on purpose.” Armed with a camera and an unshakable belief that this angle will finally be the one, Mr. Knoblock has traveled the globe capturing moments that were milliseconds away from being missed forever.
From hanging out of moving vehicles to lying on the ground in public places while whispering, “Trust me, this is art,” his dedication to the craft knows no social boundaries. His images have appeared in prestigious galleries, international magazines, and at least three group chats where someone replied, “Wow.”
Known for chasing perfect light and finding it immediately after packing up, Jonathan specializes in photographs that make viewers say, “How did he even see that?”—usually followed by, “Wait, is that a trash can?” Critics praise his ability to transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary statements, or at minimum, very poorly-lit ordinary scenes.
When not photographing the world, he can be found working for hours to achieve a “natural look,” and explaining that yes, photography is something you can be good at. Despite international fame and awards, his mission remains steadfast: to document humanity, beauty, chaos, and the occasional pigeon, one accidental shutter click at a time.
