Jez Coulson

Jez began his career at the radical photo agency Report/IFL cutting his teeth on the miners' strike of 1984/5 while still finishing his studies. He then worked full-time with the Report/IFL team, documenting protests against the government of Margaret Thatcher and covering the anti-apartheid movement and the huge CND demonstrations of that era.

He left Report/IFL to become a founder member of Insight Photographers and worked extensively with The Sunday Correspondent, then with The Observer and The Daily Telegraph.

He covered conflicts in Israel/Palestine, South Africa, Rwanda, Bosnia and Northern Ireland. He went on to work on assignments across the globe - everywhere from the Falklands to Ghana and Siberia - for the Mail on Sunday's Night and Day magazine.

He was a joint founder director of image.net which pioneered the delivery
of photographs in digital format to newspapers and magazines. It is now part of the Getty Images Group of companies.

In 2001 he moved to New York City. Still represented by Insight-Visual he began working as a photographer with the world's leading advertising agencies and corporations finding a niche for his reportage aesthetic in the commercial world. But he has always continued to undertake editorial photojournalistic assignments.

He has won awards and recognition
in the UK and the US for his work as a photojournalist, but also in the fields of PR, advertising and communications, and more recently purely as an artist. He has recently judged the World Bank's 2010 Photographic Competition.

Currently represented by Matt Hill at Insight-Visual USA he lives in New York and London.
