About Official Iditarod Photographer Jeff Schultz & Team
Jeff Schultz is a professional photographer based in Anchorage, Alaska where he lives with his wife Joan and children Ben and Hannah.
Jeff began photographing the Iditarod in 1981 when he was asked, by the founder of the race Joe Redington Sr., to volunteer to take pictures and help out the 7-year old race. Jeff traveled as far as his meager $300 travel budget would allow him that year-- to McGrath 1/3 of the way to Nome. He came back to Anchorage and took a commercial flight to Nome to see and photograph the finish of the race. When the race was over Jeff donated his photos to race organizers to use in publications for the race. He was invited back the next year, this time as an official photographer. The Iditarod Trail Committee offered to pay his air transportation and food expenses along the trail in exchange for use of his photos to promote the race. Jeff agreed and each year since then Jeff has photographed the race each year as the official volunteer photographer under those same simple terms.
At the same time Jeff volunteers his time, talent and photo costs to the Trail Committee he has done assignment work during the Iditarod for various corporate and editorial clients including; Sports Illustrated, Eddie Bauer, Cabela's, Scholastic and more. Jeff's Iditarod stock photos have been used world-wide by clients such as: WellPet, Scott Forseman Textbooks, Weekly Reader, Iams Pet foods, Ralston Purina, AT&T Alascom, G.C.I, Alaska Magazine, PBS Nature Series, Husquavarna Chainsaws, Pet Products Plus, Fred Meyer, Bayer Corp. , Honeywell and many, many more.
