Ocean Capture
Jonathan Chritchley
The founder and owner of Ocean Capture, JONATHAN CHRITCHLEY FRGS is one of the foremost fine art photographers in the world today. His instantly recognisable work is seen globally in exhibitions, galleries, magazines and books, and form part of many fine art collections internationally. His regular clients include Ralph Lauren, Ritz Carlton, Fortuny and Vogue Magazine. Jonathan also speaks and presents his work at photography and sailing events worldwide.
Born in London, England, Jonathan became infatuated with the sea after moving to the famous sailing town of Lymington on the country's south coast at the age of 15. Years later, having moved to the South of France, he gave up a successful career as a marketing and brand director in order to return to his true passion; a combination of the sea and fine art photography. He has now worked in over 40 countries, including Mozambique, India, Japan, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Norway, Greenland and Tanzania.
Jonathan was named one of the 'Top 100 Photographers of All Time' by both the UK's Sunday Times newspaper and Professional Photographer Magazine. His first book, SILVER, a 136 page fine art edition, was published in 2014, and in 2016 he was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS),
An active supporter of ocean conservation, Jonathan lives at the coast in the Bay of Saint-Tropez in the South of France.
