Jonathan Margolis
Jonathan Margolis has been a keen photographer since the age of 11. When he was 15, Amateur Photographer magazine ran a feature on his photography. He would have turned professional but also began writing and at the time it was impossible to combine the two.
He remained a keen amateur and owned a variety of Leicas until, as an established journalist and writer on technology for The Financial Times, The Guardian and The Daily Mail among others, he was finally able to pursue his original ambition as a writer/photographer. He used a Leica M9 for a recent photo feature in The Times magazine on China.
