About Jerry Monkman

Known for his conservation photography work in New England's wild places, Jerry Monkman has spent the last 15 years artfully documenting the mountains, forests, and coastlines that define the region. Staying true to his mission of "promoting ecological awareness through creative photography," his images have contributed to raising awareness and funds to protect a diverse collection of wild places, from a small Connecticut trout stream not far from New York City, to New Hampshire's Great Bay, to Maine's Katahdin Lake near Baxter State Park.

Jerry was featured in the February 2007 issue of Photo District News as the New Hampshire entry for the article, "50 States, 50 Photographers," and in 2008, the U.S. Postal Service released a 72-cent stamp featuring one of his images depicting the 13-Mile Woods region of northern New Hampshire. With his wife Marcy, Jerry has co-authored six books, including "Wild Acadia" which was named a top photo book of 2007 by Shutterbug Magazine. They are currently working on three guidebooks about places in New England that will all be released in 2010. Jerry’s photography has appeared in publications worldwide and his client list includes National Geographic Adventure, Audubon, Men's Journal, The Washington Post, Outdoor Photographer, L.L. Bean, The Trust for Public Land and The Nature Conservancy. Jerry also leads the occasional photo workshop in New Hampshire’s White Mountains and Maine’s Acadia National Park.
