Jonathan Klenke
San Diego, CA

My passion for photography began in my youth, making skate videos on VHS with friends. This early interest evolved through experimentation in college and extensive travel, where I developed my ability to find unique perspectives and compositions, capturing moments as I see them. 

With 15 years of experience in fine dining, I have a deep understanding of kitchen processes and service culture. As the principal photographer for the University Club atop Symphony Towers from 2023 to 2024, I discovered my love of documenting the often-unseen aspects of the culinary world. My work focuses on telling the stories behind events, showcasing the artistry of finely crafted food and beverages, while finding the hidden details living in each moment.
