"Beauty does not make you a model; equally, equipment does not make me a photographer. Take some time to find out what does...." (@jonisms)
My name is Jon "Canonjon" Devo, may I take this opportunity to warn you:
*Off topic - I have an incurable silly streak which although doesn't get in the way of professionalism; it does mean I will try anything twice, hate routine and thrive on "happy accidents".
My goal as a Photographer/Image creator?
To evoke the full spectrum of human emotion:
- When people see my work I want them to smile to themselves and laugh out loud even if they're all alone.
- I want a gallery closed because some angry mob has protested outside and thrown bricks through windows.
- I want babies to be made whilst as my pieces hang on bedroom walls.
- I aim to bring tears of sorrow to the eyes of people in warm remembrance of lost loved ones or tears of joy whilst reminiscing about the most precious moments in their lives.
- I want to be the cause of "man hugs", "big hugs" and the celebratory "hug from a stranger in a pub" hug.
Will be a challenge to achieve but it's the connections my images make, that make me give a damn about capturing and creating images.
Back to business:
I like to describe myself as an Image maker rather than a Photographer, with a specific focus in portraits and exploring stories through image making.
I entered the world of image creation over nine years ago, working as a Digital Retouch Artist for other Photographers. Not being able to find some Images I needed for my composite work I decided to photograph and capture them myself.
Nine years later, imagery I've created has been used in print and online by a number of global brands, most notably; PUMA, Nike, British Telecom Plc and HMV as well as shooting a lot of events and conferences for Music Industry, Tabloid and Corporate publications.
At the end of last year I joined heDD Magazine, Britain's newest and hottest men's lifestyle magazine, as their creative director (still shooting though) and this year has been spent building from the ground up, what could be the biggest career move of my life to date *fingers crossed*.
BUT! *Breathes* I still have a heck of a lot learn and I am always looking to collaborate and explore new ideas for potential campaigns and projects (Professional as well as Personal)
Please get intouch if you are interested in collaborating with or commissioning me to assist on any projects you have coming up or have always wanted to try and never had the chance to.

The illusion of asymmetric insight
“When you meet someone, there are at least two things more prominent in your mind than in theirs – your thoughts, and their face. As a result we tend to judge others on what we see, and ourselves by what we feel.” - Pronin
Truth hurts
Your problem isn’t that you make the wrong decisions, it’s that you identify the right decisions and do the exact opposite.

This has been a long time coming but we finally made this shoot happen. The beautiful Dulce Belen.
Truth
“The scene is set for dreamin’
Your love is knocking at the door
You warm my heart, i’m reluctant to start
‘cause we’ve been here before.”
