Jeremy Hall is an outdoor photographer based in East London, but he can often be found half-way up a Munro in the Scottish Highlands.
Born in Dorset, England his interest in photography started at art college and has been a constant throughout his life. In the eighties he began working in film and his art direction company ‘Exile’ was much sought after in the world of pop videos and commercials. By the nineties Jeremy was focused on making documentary films and he spent the next thirty years as a television director and series producer travelling the world, meeting incredible people and experiencing extraordinary places.
In 1996 to remember the tenth anniversary of Chernobyl, Penguin published his book Real Lives, Half Lives – tales from the atomic wasteland that uncovered the bizarre and secret lives of those who’ve been exposed, in one way or another, to radiation. Jeremy has also written for The Observer, Sunday Correspondent, Independent and New Scientist.
In the last few years, the world of landscape photography opened up to him and he now spends as much time as possible in a wood or up a mountain learning the art of being present and capturing a moment that will never repeat itself. He feels totally re-energised and excited at the prospect of making photographs that inspire and hopefully help others to make connections with their surroundings.
