Peter Sanders began his career in the 1960s as one of London’s leading photographers of rock musicians. His pictures of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, The Who and m any others performing are classics of the genre. In the late 1960s Sanders embarked on a spiritual journey that would take him to India and North Africa and then, in 1971 to the Holy City of Makkah where he photographed the Hajj, at a time when few professional photographers had access to Islam’s holiest sanctuary. Since then he has several times been granted special access to photograph the protected cities of Makkah and Madinah. His empathy with both spiritual masters and ordinary people has opened many doors, allowing him to be the first person to photograph many great Muslim scholars. Continuing to travel far and wide, Peter has amassed a huge archive specializing in the Islamic World and his work is used in a huge variety of areas and has been exhibited around the world.
