His landscape and wildlife images have been featured in many publications. And he is represented by several galleries in the south-east of the USA.

• Jeffrey shares how he was approached by a gallery and how this event changed the course of his future life - leaving a good job to become a photographer selling his art mainly through galleries.

• Jeffrey the American photographer O. Winston Link (1914 - 2001) as the PPN inspirational photographer of the month. o. Winston is probably best known for his artistic documentation of the last active American steam trains in the 1950’s. His contrasty B&W images were often shot at night and he created a unique atmosphere by installing many flashes in surrounding houses to create a special look to his images.
