| Jeremy Wade Shockley is a self-taught photographer who has been exploring foreign lands and cultures from an early age. He first picked up a camera while serving an architectural internship in the Colonial city of Cuenca, Ecuador. This immediately developed into a passion for documenting the world around him.
Jeremy returned to the United States in order to finish a degree in architecture at the University of Colorado. Shortly thereafter, he embarked on a two year Peace Corps assignment in the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho.
It was his experiences in Africa that would set in motion a career in photojournalism. Jeremy began to experience, "through the lens," the varied landscapes and cultures he encountered across the continent. A sincere and intimate approach to the people he photographs shines through in every image.
In addition to making a return trip to Africa in 2007, Jeremy has also been documenting various aspects of the American West. Today he is working as a professional photojournalist for the Southern Ute Indian Tribe.
Jeremy resides in the mountains outside of Durango, Colorado, with his loyal dog Eddy.
