Claim your profile"Fly fishing's Michael Jordan is a woman, and her name is Jess McGlothlin." - Men's Journal "McGlothlin is as much a journalist as an angler, creating a visual with words and images like a modern-day lady Hemingway." - Outdoor Hub I see my mission as a simple one: tell stories. While working as a freelance photographer and writer in the outdoor industry, I've learned how to throw spears at coconuts in French Polynesia, dodge saltwater crocodiles in Cuba, stand-up paddleboard down Peruvian Amazon tributaries and eat all manner of unidentifiable food. I've worked with leading industry brands including Patagonia, YETI, Costa Sunglasses, The Orvis Company, Walmart's Store No. 8 think tank, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Outside Magazine, and a myriad of other commercial and editorial outlets. I have proven competence covering everything from international advertising campaigns to multi-day survival training sessions in remote, challenging environments to exploratory fishing trips. My work has been featured in gallery shows in Germany, Russia, Israel and the U.S., and I have received numerous international awards / recognition for both writing and photography. I am available for contract, editorial, and assignment work, and am currently based in Missoula, Montana, U.S.. Specialties: Outdoor photography, fly fishing media, editorial photography, commercial photography, photojournalism, journalism, writing.
