A year later and full of bravado Jon Nash headed off to South Africa to record and capture the horrors of a nation repressed by apartheid. Caught up in a troubled country Jon Nash was thrown into the deep end early in his career and here learnt the importance of shooting quickly and under pressure to deliver raw emotion.

Following the rigours of his African experience Jon elected to spend a year living a more sedate life and worked onboard a cruise ship as the ship’s photographer in the Caribbean. It was here that he was introduced to the world of ocean yacht racing when he was presented with the opportunity to crew a boat back to England. Without hesitation he jumped ship from the cruise liner into a career that enabled him to travel the world on a quest to deliver a range of perfect sailing and adventure shots.

“I love my job, the sea, the outdoors, the thrill – it gives me the opportunity to take part in life’s adventures, in environments where few would dare to tread. Creatively photography offers me a platform to convey with clarity genuine feelings in exhilarating, adrenaline fuelled situations.” Says Jon.
Jon’s passion for the sea and outdoors is clearly expressed through his images. His understanding and love for the sports he photographs is an obvious advantage when it comes to getting that awkward, 'one in a million' shot. Jon is used to taking the same risks as the professional sportsmen and women he works alongside to make sure that the client gets a unique portfolio of shots that are a cut above the rest.

Stock imagery is available to buy from the Jon Nash Photography library.
