MEET THE ARTIST

Based right here in Safety Harbor, FL, Jonathan Colbert is a local artist with an eye for beauty and an undeniable passion for capturing the world in a unique way, literally blurring the boundaries between reality and art.
Growing up just outside of Princeton, NJ, Jonathan was surrounded by his family’s varying artistic endeavors, including his father’s abstract landscape paintings adorning the walls of his childhood home. His father instilled in him the value in creating art for oneself, but then sharing it for the world to see.
Jonathan has since channeled his father’s creative spirit into photography. Through experimenting with several different subjects and styles, he discovered intentional camera movement. By panning the camera while taking a long exposure, Jonathan is able to produce the blurred effect seen in most of his photographs, simultaneously capturing both motion and stillness.
Jonathan's unique approach and dedication have paid off; his work has gained a strong following on the social media platform Instagram, and he’s been featured in four Tampa-area art shows since 2022. He was featured in an ICM Photography focused blog for B&H, one of the nation’s largest retailers of photography equipment, and was featured in ICMPhotography Magazine in September 2023. His work has been displayed at Sweet Brewnette in Madeira Beach, FL, Dunedin Coffee Company in Dunedin, FL, and Grassroots Kava House in Seminole Heights, FL. In 2023 TJ Maxx and Marshall’s elected to carry his work on their websites, which have since sold out.
For Jonathan, ICM photography is more than just a hobby; it's an art form that captures the beauty of the world around us in a way that can't be matched. His mastery of the fascinating technique produces uniquely stunning images that catch the eye and the imagination. He hopes that his work can help bring a sense of joy, tranquility, and beauty to the people who view it. His story is one of passion and dedication and serves as an inspiration to all aspiring artists.
