About the Artist
I am a conservation photographer, filmmaker, and writer, and while I have written ten books and directed a feature-length documentary film, you will usually find me shooting nature and outdoor lifestyle imagery (stills and video) for non-profit, editorial, and commercial clients. My images, books, and films have told adventure- and conservation-themed stories for more than 20 years for clients such as The Trust for Public Land, The Nature Conservancy, National Geographic Adventure, L.L. Bean, and Timberland. With my wife Marcy I run EcoPhotography, our Portsmouth, New Hampshire based stock and assignment photo business and video production company.
Our books include two National Outdoor Book Award winners: 2012‚Äôs The AMC Guide to Outdoor Digital Photography, and 2017‚ Outdoor Adventures: Acadia National Park. Our work has appeared in publications worldwide including National Geographic Adventure, Audubon, Men’s Journal, The Washington Post, Outdoor Photographer, and Yankee Magazine. Jerry’s first feature-length film, The Power of Place, explores the potential impacts of a controversial energy project proposed for New Hampshire, and was an official selection of the 2015 New Hampshire Film Festival. Jerry’s new feature-length documentary, The Merrimack: River at Risk, which he directed for The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests premiered on NH PBS on July 23, 2020.
