Jonnie came to me recommended by Ryan McGinley so my ļ¬rst thoughts were ‘this better be good.’
On his ļ¬rst job for the magazine I made him get a bunch of his friends nude and run around the centre of London at night, in the middle of Autumn. He got photos of them all naked in Trafalgar Square Fountain, being chased by security and having a homeless guy wave his penis at them. He nailed it.
Jonnie’s photos have a great sense of mischief and adventure in them, which separates them from a lot of other contemporary ‘art photography’
