Jeremy Hunter

Throughout his long career in photojournalism Jeremy Hunter has extensively travelled the world – not only covering historic events but also documenting regional cultures, their practises, celebrations and religious ceremonies.

In  a rapidly changing digitally interconnected world, where often ancient cultures and practices are overrun and made obsolete by a relentless drive of global modernisation, Jeremy Hunter’s archive not only represents an outstanding body of work, but also serves as an invaluable cultural memory.
