Director Lester Jones signs with Photoplay

Photoplay has announced the signing of director Lester Jones for representation.

A filmmaker whose work focuses on emotive yet stylised imagery; Jones combines visual storytelling with an eye for human connection to create aesthetics with his signature use of mood and tone.

Jones is drawn to projects where his considered cinematic approach can bring a visual consideration to narratives that reveal a human element through performance and emotive storytelling.

Working with a diverse line up of brands, Jones has recently directed campaigns for Paspaley, Commbank, R.M. Williams, Westfield, Telstra and Sheridan.

Alongside his commercial work, Jones continues to write and direct various long format projects ranging from short films to documentaries, which he finds is the perfect creative outlet to experiment with form and style and broaden his craft.

Together with a documentary film releasing later this year, Jones’ latest short film ‘Mother’ was released for UN World Water Day and offers a filmic and humanised journey into the effects of climate change. Previous work in this vein also includes his International Women’s Day film ‘The One’ that spotlights female strength, beauty and identity.

On signing with Photoplay, Jones says: “Throughout the years, I’ve had a big appreciation for Photoplay. They have a great respect for craft and are well known as people who are great to work with. I’m flattered to be rubbing shoulders with their talented team and roster.”

Says Oliver Lawrance, MD / executive producer, Photoplay: “Lester is a passionate and insightful film director who lenses the world in such a fascinating way. His work is emotive and really connects and challenges audiences, and I love that his personal work does not avoid the challenging issues that threaten humanity and the environment. We are very fortunate to have him on board.”
