Jeremiah A. Gilbert

Jeremiah A. Gilbert

Jeremiah A. Gilbert’s artistic journey began not with a map, but with a sense of wonder. Over the course of visiting more than 100 countries, his camera has been both compass and confidant, guiding him through bustling markets, remote villages, and landscapes where the horizon feels infinite. His creative vision is rooted in curiosity—seeking out moments that are both intimate and expansive, where the quiet details of a place reveal its deeper story.

His photographs are less about ticking destinations off a list and more about tracing the threads of humanity that weave the world together. Inspired by fleeting light, unguarded gestures, and the textures of everyday life, his work captures not just the way a place looks, but the way it feels to stand there, breathe it in, and become part of its unfolding narrative.

Jeremiah A. Gilbert is an award-winning photographer and travel writer. His travels have taken him to over a hundred countries and all seven continents, while his photography has been published internationally and exhibited worldwide. He is the author of four travel books, including Can’t Get Here from There: Fifty Tales of Travel, From Tibet to Egypt: Early Travels After a Late Start, and On to Plan C: A Return to Travel, which documented his return to travel post-COVID and was the first to include his photography.

His most recent, Around the World in Eighty Photos, includes images created over twenty years of traveling. Each photo is accompanied with a brief story of how the image was created along with the camera settings used.
