Jon Pountney

“My aesthetic as a photographer is very simple and straightforward: try to capture interesting places and moments in time and share with others. I make art to communicate my sense of wonder, and the themes in my work are influenced by my interest in people, place and history. Not merely a spectator, I am most often a member of the communities who form my practice.”

Jon Pountney is a professional photographer and artist, living in Treforest, Rhondda Cynon Taf.

His work is inspired by memory, nostalgia, social history and community and primarily uses film and digital photography within his projects. He is passionate about working with communities and people, to bring stories to life and out into the public realm. Pountney believes that so much of our history is spoken word and kept as memories; and that without interpretation, those testimonies are lost. Learning from his personal experience, he stresses how important it is that these stories are given voice, and are accessible to all. Driven by storytelling through imagery, he believes his familiarity with his subjects helps to vitalise the work by lending credibility and an empathetic interpretation.
