Born in London, he established himself in the 1960s shooting many of the pop stars of that era including Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones and The Doors. In 1971 he was granted the unique opportunity to photograph the rituals of Hajj or annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. These images appeared in the Sunday Times Magazine, The Observer, among many other major journals in recognition of their rareness. His empathy with the people he meets in many remote places in the world is reflected in his ability to capture unique and natural poses of people who may otherwise find his occupation suspect or intruding. His subject matter is a colorful mosaic of faces, facades and natural scenery and his talents as a photographer bring to home the beauty of distant lands and people, stealing all the colors of the rainbow that bridges east and west. From the City of the Dead to the City of Light; from two million pilgrims on Hajj to the Empty Quarter; from the anguish of the impoverished to the wealthy cities of Saudi Arabia, Sanders' work opens the door to the unique, exotic lands of the Middle East, Africa, India, Central Asia and into the vast world of Islam. New book by Peter Sanders with a foreword by Hamza Yusuf, titled “In the Shade f the Tree” Dr. Ingrid Mattson, Vice-President of ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) Dr. Ingrid Mattson is Director of Islamic Chaplaincy and Professor at the Macdonald Center for Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations at Hartford Seminary in Hartford, CT.
