Jeremy Campion
Jeremy Campion was born in England , but it was while living in South Africa that he decided to turn a passion for photography into a career. An avid golfer, he recognized a void for great action golf photography. Over the past 17 years his photographs have appeared in numerous publications, including Golf Digest, the Daily Mirror, Telegraph Sport, Daily Express, The Sporting Life, Today and The Compleat Golfer (South Africa).
On his regular pilgrimages to the British Open, he has recorded the joy and despair of great players on some of the world's most challenging and respected golf courses. In 1994, he was the only photographer to capture Nick Price when he made the eagle putt that secured his victory. The photograph was published around the world. His other world scoop was to capture the first female streaker, when Birkdale hosted The Championship in 1991.
Along with golf, Jeremy has also photographed multiple corporate events for BMW, Mercedes, Nissan and Toyota, Pam Golding Properties, and for every major bank in South Africa on a regular repeat basis. He has also photographed for Mala Mala, South Africa, one of the top private game reserves in the world on his frequent visits to Kruger National Park.
In February 2004, Jeremy was granted a rare O1 Visa (Extraordinary Ability in the Arts Petition), allowing him to live and work in the United States. For this, one has to document proven extraordinary ability. In his case these were photographs of unusual, exciting and memorable events published in distinguished newspapers, books and magazines, coupled with multiple letters from prominent personalities confirming significant recognition of his expertise and achievements.
He has since returned to South Africa.
Jeremy is a highly skilled photographer in portraits, corporate events and weddings as well as, of course, golf. His natural spontaneous personality and good humor brings out the best in people. A session with him is an upbeat, fun, yet relaxing experience, producing extraordinary photographs.
