About Small Planet Photography

The unique flavor of our work stems from our interest in documenting spontaneous moments of everyday life, among people of diverse cultures. We are especially drawn to indigenous cultures that have retained their time-honored traditions, their cultural integrity. We combine our aesthetic vision as fine art photographers with our instincts as photojournalists to produce images with a sense of place... and more importantly, a feeling for the strength and dignity of the human spirit.

We try to convey the magical quality of moments we've experienced in distant lands... the full moon as it sinks behind a sunwarmed ridge in early dawn... the shy grins of young boys being photographed for the first time... or the tenderness on a young mother's face as she nurses her infant in the midst of a bustling market.

Our goal is to transport you geographically, and move you emotionally to a place of greater empathy and understanding. We hope that after spending time with our images, you will leave with renewed respect for the dignity of all peoples, and a heartfelt appreciation for this planet's rich cultural tapestry, of which we are all a part.

We offer archivally processed and matted photographs in color and black & white, hand printed and signed by the photographer in limited editions of 200. Our black & white images are printed on the finest fiber-based, silver gelatin paper, then carefully hand processed to museum standards for stability and longevity. We print our color images on the latest generation of archival color printing materials, Fujichrome Type 35SG. With proper care, these prints will not deteriorate for generations to come. We are among a select group of photographers who print their own images, adhering to these high standards.

Thank you for your interest in our work, and we hope our paths cross in the near future.
