ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jeff Schwartz spent fifty years telling other people's stories before finally writing his own.

During a career as a cameraman, producer, and director, he found himself face-to-face with Mel Brooks, Muhammad Ali, Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep, Keith Richards, U.S. presidents, veterans, doctors, prisoners, and countless ordinary people who stayed with him just as long.

Known professionally as The Cameraman in Clogs, Jeff's career took him from Hollywood movie sets and Super Bowls to fashion runways, homeless shelters, remote villages, and documentary projects around the world. Along the way, he earned multiple Gold Telly Awards and served on the Telly Awards Judging Council.

His debut memoir, The Cameraman in Clogs: Always Rolling, grew out of those experiences. More than a collection of behind-the-scenes stories, it reflects on the people he met, the places he traveled, and what a career spent observing others ultimately taught him about himself.

Jeff lives in New York with his wife, Helene.
