New work - Cymatics is the study of wave phenomena, particularly sound, and how the waves produce visible patterns. It’s also used as a therapy where sound waves are aimed at the body to improve health.

In this series, I have examined standing wave patterns created using liquids in still imagery. Different patterns emerge based on the plate’s geometry and the frequency of vibration.

Had a great discussion with Professional Photo Magazine. We delved into the art of making magic in camera without CGI, our transition from stills to motion, favourite kit equipment, and where the industry is heading.

In an age when we’re used to visual trickery being created through the use of AI and slick image manipulation software it’s refreshing to encounter an old-school operator like Jonathan Knowles, who relishes the special challenge of capturing his special effects in-camera.
