Jeremy is a record-breaking explorer, photographer and writer.
As an explorer and photographer who has always set out to illustrate lives far removed from his own, Jeremy has a deep interest in indigenous people who have proudly continued their way of life despite the spectre of encroaching globalisation. This pride in one’s identity is what has always lured Jeremy abroad, to find the thrill of another world that is unlike our own and to use it as a mirror in which we can see our own life.
In 2008, Jeremy crossed the Sahara with the Touareg tribes that live there, photographing their harsh way of life and the bitter skirmishes they fight that is currently splintering the Sahara. He covered two thousand kilometres on foot and by camel, arriving in Timbuktu after crossing the Tanezrouft, the most arid part of the Sahara that the Touareg call the “Land of Terror”, becoming the first in living memory to do so. He also became the youngest non-African to traverse the Sahara, unsupported and without motorised transport.
