Jonk is a self-taught freelance photograph­er whose work focuses on humans and their relationsh­ip with nature. His images are taken to raise awareness of the ecological crisis that faces humanity. Fascinated by abandoned places that have been reclaimed by nature, in 2018 he published Naturalia: A Chronicle of Contempora­ry Ruins. Far from being pessimisti­c, and at a time when human domination of nature has never been so extreme, his images are designed to awaken our ecological consciousn­ess. Nature is stronger, so whatever happens to humans, nature will always be there, he says.
