“Jonathan is a visionary professional who doesn't treat his subjects as a still-life, but as a living array of stories that he documents through his lens as they pass by. I've worked with him on several projects, but the one that stands out the most is my first commission to him to take pictures for Abu Dhabi Art, which was later published in Shawati' Magazine, a quarterly bilingual culture and current affairs journal, published in Abu Dhabi. Jonathan managed to capture the mood of the event through its people and not through its smoke-and-mirrors of VIP guests, lounges and cheap free-flowing champagne. His images reflected the anticipation of the art dealer, the searching eye of the collector and the neurotic gestures of the artists. In my personal opinion, his work is a staple I would use to share with other photographers I would hire.”

“We have worked with Surface on several projects, and I found Jonathan to be a highly skilled and dedicated professional. His expertise aerial filming & photography is unmatched. He's also an all-around great guy to work with, and he makes every job enjoyable! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for all things aerial filming in the UAE.”

“I hired Surface as a subcontractor for an Atkins project in Saudi Arabia. The project required high resolution photographs and 360 VR images of large infrastructure assets, including sports stadiums, universities, schools and parks. As well as delivering output of an exceptionally high standard, Jonathan and his team managed the full process, including all logistics and planning requirements. His attention to detail during both production and post-production was exceptional. The images were very well received by my client, and I would highly recommend his services again.”

“Surface shot aerial photography of 28 of our Dubai projects via helicopter – buildings, developments, interchanges and the like. Jonathan obtained all relevant permits and meticulously planned all shot angles to ensure a desired outcome. The clarity and detail of the final photographs exceeded our expectations and significantly improved the presentation of our website, and our company profile generally. I would not hesitate to recommend Surface – true professionals who take pride in their work. ”
