Jasberg’s images perfectly embody the essence of this genre, encapsulating Henri Cartier Bresson’s theory of perception, “the decisive moment,” as he intricately yet spontenously frames everyday instances from across the globe. Equipped with an innate understanding of light and a discerning eye for color, his dynamic compositions, often layered, grow even more captivating the longer they are viewed.

 It can often be challenging to create a personal point of view at famous landmarks. This image feels authentic and tells a story.

- Steve McCurry

Jonathan’s aims are modest: to create images that we can all “smile at and appreciate the shared beauty of life”. It’s something he achieves with ease, don’t you think?
