Jonny Gios – a photographer, storyteller, based in Kendal, UK

With a camera in one hand and a deep appreciation for people’s stories in the other, I’m passionate about capturing authentic moments that reflect the beauty, complexity, and sacredness of everyday life. My work spans documentary-style photography, portraits, landscapes, and community-focused projects – all driven by a desire to tell real stories with honesty and care. I’d love to capture your special wedding day, profile head shot, commercial project!

Alongside my photography, I am passionate about community, which brings a deep sense of purpose and compassion to everything I do. Whether I’m behind the lens or working in the heart of the community, I’m drawn to connection, meaning, and light – both literal and metaphorical.

In November 2024, I was awarded the Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS), a recognition of my commitment to photographic excellence and creativity.

Thanks for stopping by – I’d love to hear from you. Whether you're interested in a collaboration, a photo session, or just a chat over coffee, feel free to get in touch.

“Using the very latest cameras ensures I’m capturing the best photographs on location. I love using Sony Alpha cameras!”.

The best landscape photographers are truly committed to their art. They keep unusual hours to capture sunrises and sunsets. They trek long distances to secure a great setting. They consider the framing. They see the possibility of a great view when we just see humdrum clouds. And Jonny's work puts him in this category of great photographers.
