Jeff Young

Natural photographer and filmmaker who wants to bring new styles and philosophies to natural history film.

Jeff Young grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota, in the US. He is a nature photographer and filmmaker with interests in anthropology, land conservation, and walking aimlessly. Nature, human cultures, the smell of ponderosa pine trees, and perhaps above all, birds, inspire him. He wants to bring new styles and philosophies to natural history film. Jeff’s first film, True Places Never Are, was short-listed for a student BAFTA and received the President’s Award at the Prague Science Film Festival. It collides his interest in birding with the history of quantum physics. He now works on documentary productions in Bristol, England while keeping an eye and ear to the sky for the bird migrations of spring.
