I am primarily known as a Still Life photographer but I also shoot a wide range of subjects. JONATHAN KANTOR's still life images are nothing, if not heroic. From slick technology to luxurious cosmetics and dynamic water splashes he makes his visual point quickly and concisely ~ keeping his compositions clean and his lighting tidy.

When he's not behind the lens, KANTOR enjoys building furniture, welding, fly-fishing and tennis. He collects antique cameras and vintage tools. He and his wife love to travel and enjoy spending time with their chocolate lab and new baby Max.

Commercially, his clients include Tommy Hilfiger, Clinique, Bloomingdales, Bath and Body Works, Dove, Neiman Marcus, Reebok, Revlon, Stoli, Soft-Soap, Truvia, Physicians Formula, Colgate, Heineken, Target and Westin Hotels.


Editorially, he regularly contributes to GQ, Self, Glamour, Newsweek, Details and Men's Health. His portraits have been published recently in Outside and New York Magazine.

KANTOR was named one of PDN's first "30 Under 30" and also featured in Creativity Magazine as "One of the Top Ten Advertising Photographers." His work appeared on the cover of Luerzers Archive Book "100 Best Advertising Photographers" and has also been featured in Communication Arts, Photo District News and American Photography Annuals.
