Speaker profile: Jon (Jinx) Jenkins

I have been a professional for six years now. I had a total of twenty two jobs before that.

I ran a high street studio in Newport for four years then worked from home for two years. Now I have a really successful studio in Cardiff. It’s making plenty of money. I shoot 20-30 weddings a year and work on studio portraiture through the week.

The Convention is amazing. It is the single most important date in the calendar and has taken over from Focus which is just about equipment really. I always come away full of inspiration and a keen mind to focus on the next year ahead. I don’t really know how I would improve it really apart from the obvious thing...... move it to Wales!
