Jon and his blue heeler named "Autie"
Jon Carroll is a British born photographer working with documentary photography and figure ground drawings, with a focus on cultural landscapes. His background includes a decade as a rancher, a police investigator and a decade experience as an mountain guide, which drive his interest in rural communities geography of resource use and exploitation. He is self-taught after finding an old Leica M4 rangefinder and two books by Ulf Richter- Oskar Barnack Von der Idee zur, and The Americans by Robert Frank at a yard sale. His creative work examines the intersection between landscape, racial identity, and changing environmental and social conditions. His photos and video have appeared on PBS and Independent Lens, and he contributed film work for the award-winning documentary “No Man’s Land,” which explores the armed takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.
