Jeff Hutchens: An Emerging Photographer to Watch
Photo District News (PDN) is the leading photo magazine for professional photographers. Each year they select 30 new and emerging photographers to keep an eye on. We would now like to introduce you to Jeff Hutchens, who has kindly provided the photos for our homepage.
Jeff Hutchens was born in Lansing, Michigan in 1978. The son of an American diplomat, he spent his childhood throughout the U.S. and across China, South Africa, and the Philippines. Jeff has shot professionally on six continents, where he's faced grizzly bears, lava floes, Komodo dragons, and all manner of corrupt officials. From work on the surreality of life in China, to documenting underground epidemics in the jungles of central Africa, and photographing polar bears in the Arctic Circle, he captures images that convey transcendent moods and subtle beauty.
Jeff was recognized as one of "PDN's 30" (2009) and has won multiple awards in the World Press Photo competition, National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) Best Of Photojournalism competition, Pictures Of The Year (POYi) and Communication Arts (CA). Additionally, Jeff and his filmmaker brother Peter are the subject of a six-part travel/adventure series airing on the National Geographic Channel. The show follows them as they document far-flung regions of China through their respective lenses.
Jeff is represented by Reportage by Getty Images and Orchard Represents and lives in Washington, D.C. when not on assignment.
"I'm not into the specifics; I love things that are fluid. I'm drawn toward mood and hints and vagueness - ambiguity and the sense of reality decontextualized." Jeff Hutchens
