| Peter Sanders is internationally recognised as one of the worlds leading photographers of the Islamic World. Sanders began his career in the mid-1960's covering London's seminal rock and roll scene, capturing now legendary music icons in a collection that is considered a classic by collectors. Towards the end of the 1970's, Sander's attention turned inward which set him on a spiritual search that took him to India and led him in the end to the Muslim world. All the while the photographer captured his surroundings on film, creating a striking and disparate record of the last vestiges of traditional Muslim societies in transition. Sander's own deep commitment to and love of traditional Islamic culture has brought him into intimate contact with people and places few photographers reach. Sanders' photographs have appeared in many international publications, including Time Magazine, Paris Match, The Observer, The Sunday Times Magazine, Aramco World and the London based pan-Arab news magazine Al Majalla who published his work as a cover story. His intimate photographs of the sacred cities of Makkah and Madinah are in great demand. view less | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
