His photographs have graced the covers of National Geographic and The New York Times Magazine. He also co-produces and co-directs his films with his wife, Chai Vasarhelyi. Their film “Meru” won the Audience Award: Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015 and was on the 2016 Oscars shortlist for Best Documentary Feature. Their latest documentary “Free Solo” won a BAFTA and an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2019. Jimmy splits his time between New York City and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, with Chai, their daughter, Marina, and son, James.
