Cinematography[]

He primarily worked as a cinematographer on Norwegian films, in addition to occasionally working as a director and producer. At the end of his career he established his own film production company.

In 1934, Per Jonson participated in an international competition at the Bloudek Giant in Planica, making a jump 80 meters (260 ft) meters long.[3] In another jump, outside the competition, he landed at 88.5 meters (290 ft) with a fall.[3]
His was one of the best ski jumpers of his time, competing together with legends such as Birger Ruud and his brother Sigmund Ruud.[3] In 1933, he coached the Polish national ski jumping team in Zakopane.
