Mike Jones is a Perth based ‘enthusiastic amateur’ who explores different genres and styles over time striving to learn and extend. He first engaged with photography in the analogue days and developed and printed b+w and colour in a home darkroom. Extensive travel saw Mike develop an eye for the local and diverse away from tourist snaps. Whilst he is now fully immersed in the digital age he maintains a set of film cameras including a 6x9 box, 6x6 bellows, and a 6x4.5 on which he shoots scenes using all three cameras to produce the feelings of bygone eras.

In 2025 Mike was a Finalist in the Australian Photography awards for a single monochrome shot and a Highly Commended for a set of 3. SHOTS 2026 will be the first time Mike has publicly exhibited.
