Jeremie Jalapeno
Documentary and adventure photographer. Nelson, BC.
Jeremie is a photographer whose work centers on people — and one of his found passions is personal transformation. That thread runs through everything he shoots, from a charity calendar built on humour, to a decade of powder days at a backcountry lodge, to a documentary project about the community that shaped him most.
From a retreat in Peru to ten winters at Keefer Lake.
A retreat in Peru
Jeremie attended a full transformational Ayahuasca retreat in Peru. Since then, he's set his internal compass towards his biggest fear: photography.
Photography school
Enrolled in photography school and quickly discovered a passion for portrait photography — the seed of everything that followed.
Keefer Lake Lodge
Found his dream job as the catskiing photographer at Keefer Lake Lodge — a season-long assignment he still returns to every winter.
Men in Tubs
Created the Men in Tubs calendar, a light-hearted portrait project that supported mental health initiatives for five years running.
The cut blocks
Alongside photography, Jeremie spent eighteen seasons as a tree planter and foreman in Western Canada — the experience at the heart of Braving the Cut Blocks.
Braving the Cut Blocks
Currently developing Braving the Cut Blocks, an extensive documentary project capturing the lives of tree planters in Western Canada — while heading into a tenth season at Keefer Lake.
