A One Minute Wonder is just that: a video portrait featuring a wondrous person relating their individual story in 60 seconds flat. What began for us as a project to help tell the amazing stories of the people we were fortunate enough to be surrounded by, has now turned into an ever-growing series. Artists, entrepreneurs, designers, and rain-makers offer insight into their personalities, inspirations and what ultimately makes them tick.
Bellow are a selection of our favourite photographer profiles done by the guys from One Minute Wonder, so if you enjoy please visit their website to view more of their great short films.

Jimmy Nelson
Jimmy Nelson started working as a photographer in 1987. Having spent 10 years at a Jesuit boarding school in the North of England, he set off on his own to traverse the length of Tibet on foot. The journey lasted a year and upon his return his unique visual diary, featuring revealing images of a previously inaccessible Tibet, was published to wide international acclaim.
In early 1994 he and his Dutch wife produced Literary Portraits of China, a 30 month project that brought them to all the hidden corners of the newly opening People’s Republic. Upon its completion the images were exhibited in the People’s Palace on Tiananmen Square, Beijing, and then followed by a worldwide tour.
From 1997 onwards Jimmy began to successfully undertake commercial advertising assignments for many of the world’s leading brands. At the same time he started accumulating images of remote and unique cultures photographed with a traditional 50-year-old plate camera.
