Jonathan Lennard is a photographer and film director whose career began with a rapid ascent in international fashion editorial. An early cover for The Face in London was quickly followed by assignments with Esquire in the United States, British Vogue, and L’Officiel in Paris, establishing him among a generation of photographers shaping the visual direction of the time. A widely recognized portrait of Julia Roberts further elevated his profile and led to ongoing work with actors, models, and cultural figures.
Working internationally from the outset, Lennard developed a reputation for disciplined, composition-driven imagery — an approach he carried naturally into directing. Rather than leaving photography behind, he built a parallel career in motion, bringing a photographer’s eye to commercial filmmaking.
He has directed campaigns across the United States, South America, and Asia for brands including Chanel, L’Oréal, De Beers Diamonds, Apple, Garnier, Dove, Chevrolet, Red Bull, Meta, DreamWorks, and Warner Brothers. His L’Oréal campaigns featuring Priyanka Chopra remain a notable collaboration within the global beauty market.
In 2025, Lennard directed five films for De Beers Diamonds for the launch of the Forevermark collection. Released internationally in early 2026, the campaign reaffirmed his standing within the luxury sector and underscored his continued work across both still and motion.
Alongside his production career, Lennard founded PAD90210 in 2015 — a private architectural residence in Beverly Hills designed specifically for film, fashion, and advertising shoots. Recognized for its discretion and strong visual character, the property has hosted a wide range of high-level productions and internationally recognized talent, including Hunter Schafer, Selena Gomez, Pedro Pascal, Kendall Jenner, Jessica Chastain, Ewan McGregor, Elizabeth Olsen, Jane Fonda, Joe Jonas, Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Gisele Bündchen, Emily Ratajkowski, Kid Cudi, DJ Khaled, and Jeff Goldblum, among others.
In 2023, he expanded this concept with SailOlinka, a classic wooden yacht adapted as an on-water production location. The vessel has already supported major campaigns including Hugo Boss and appeared in the Calvin Klein Spring 2026 campaign.
And now he has expanded his locations to a new dramatic house, he calls The Promontory, which a stunning midcentury house on the Pacific Ocean, with a view towards Catalina.
Both properties were developed from firsthand experience on set and reflect a practical understanding of what productions require — privacy, architectural clarity, and environments that support the work.
Lennard continues to work actively as both photographer and director.
