Jonathan Oakes has recently been devoting time to a number of personal projects. His image 'Alan at New Brighton' is part of a series of quirky portraits of model boat enthusiasts who sadly have no lake to use due to council “improvements”.

Jonathan has now had six of his portrait images featured in the prestigious AoP Awards with an image being selected for both the 2009 and 2010 awards.

Clients this year include BP Forecourts, Findaproperty.com, Hewlett Packard, Warburtons, Pets at Home and a charity project for the Sisters of Mercy - not a rock band but a convent in North Wales. Jonathan recently directed and produced a short promotional motion video for young person’s charity Streetlife Blackpool.

Jonathan is particularly keen to develop new working relationships in Europe and around the world.
