About Me

I’m Jonathan Padi, a London and Essex based Black British photographer specialising in fashion, private events, and portrait work. Whether I’m photographing an individual, a brand team, or a room full of guests, my focus is always on creating images that feel polished and natural.

My experience includes collaborating with designers and creatives such as Edeline Lee and Axel Arigato, as well as covering multiple shows at London Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week over the years. I also shoot street style each season, which has made me confident working quickly in unpredictable environments and under pressure.

Alongside fashion, I work with clients who want high-quality coverage for their personal or corporate events. My goal is to deliver images that feel elevated without disrupting the flow of the day, so clients can enjoy their event while knowing the important moments are being handled with care.

If you have a project, event, or moment you want captured, I’d love to hear from you.
