PA Photos down under!
PA Photos is extending its coverage by sending a photographer to Australia. PA photographer, Jon Buckle has moved down under to increase sport and showbiz coverage from Australia and New Zealand.
Martin Stephens, Assistant Managing Director commented:
“Jon’s move reflects the need to develop new products for the global marketplace. The Press Association Group is extending its reach and gathering more international content to meet the demands of its growing international client base. Customers around the world want a one-stop shop for pictures, video, features and news alerts, and that’s what we aim to deliver.”
Jon, who has worked for PA Photos for 10 years, has broad skills as a photographer, covering both sport and showbiz events in the UK and in Australia. Jon is now based in Sydney.
He has photographed the Sri Lankan and Indian cricket tours and the Australian Open tennis and will be covering the Melbourne Grand Prix in March. As the sport season winds down, Jon will also be covering premieres and entertainment events, including the ARIA awards and the Logie awards.
