# Jon Cottam - Professional Photography & Videography
Jon Cottam is a London-based photographer and videographer specialising in high-end commercial and editorial work. Operating from E2, the studio demonstrates extensive expertise across portraiture, corporate campaigns, television production, and branded content creation.
The portfolio reveals a clientele spanning major broadcasters (Channel 4, Channel 5, Channel 10), luxury hospitality (Park Hyatt London), publishing (Forbes Magazine), and entertainment sectors. Notable subjects include Sir David Attenborough, Davina McCall, and Jean-Christophe Novelli, alongside campaigns for established brands and television shows including Changing Rooms, MasterChef Australia, and Stand Up to Cancer.
What distinguishes Jon Cottam is the seamless integration of studio and on-location work with both photographic and cinematic expertise. The body of work demonstrates technical mastery across lighting, composition, and colour grading, coupled with the ability to deliver key art, campaign stills, and promotional content simultaneously. Rather than serving as a generalist photographer, the business operates at the intersection of commercial production, where broadcast-quality standards and editorial excellence are non-negotiable.
The studio appears particularly strong in producing integrated campaigns—delivering both still photography and motion content for single clients—and executing high-profile portraiture sessions with public figures. This positions Jon Cottam as a resource for agencies, production companies, and brands requiring seasoned professionals who understand both the technical and creative demands of contemporary media production.
