Jonathan Pears is a cinematographer working between Los Angeles and London. With a background in mechanical engineering and a former career building Formula 1 cars, his transition to filmmaking brings a unique precision and kinetic sensibility to his work behind the camera.

His passion for motorsport remains strong, but his love for visual storytelling has taken him around the globe, crafting images that are both grounded and cinematic. Whether shooting narrative drama, branded content, or documentary work, Jonathan brings a refined eye, technical intuition, and a collaborative spirit to every project. When he's not on set, he’s usually still behind a camera—exploring film photography, developing personal work, or racing motorcycles on the track.
