August 14, 2007 - Los Angeles, California - USA -Whether it is a Santa Ana windswept fire, a kid on a skateboard or yet another Hollywood brat going to court, ZUMA Press is pleased to know we can count on Jonathan Alcorn to be able to handle anything we throw at him.

"It's awesome to be affiliated with ZUMA Press. I get to cover breaking news and features in the L.A. area, and ZUMA is a great home for syndication of the celebrity portraits I shoot on assignment, as well as feature stories. Scott, Ruaridh and ZUMA are very cutting-edge with zReportage and DOUBLEtruck Magazine, and I'm proud to be on the team," quips Jonathan.

"Recently, I had a very interesting portrait session with Death Row Records mogul Suge Knight. He was totally cool and easygoing. We were at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, and in the past, I have had difficulties with the security there on where they permit photography. People obviously respect Suge because he just made a call, and presto, we got to shoot by the pool. It turned out to be a great experience. After the shoot, we hung out for over an hour talking sports and life in Los Angeles. I have an invitation to join him in Vegas. That should be a very entertaining trip."

Jonathan's images appear all over the media world via ZUMA and among other publications and media: AOL, E! Entertainment TV, Entertainment Weekly, London Times, Newsweek, People Weekly, Stern and Time. "Jonathan is our man in L.A., covering the full gambit with style and dedication," ZUMA CEO Scott Mc Kiernan proudly adds.
