Peter SandersÃÂ is a British photographer. His works focus on the Muslim community around the world, especially their traditional and spiritual aspects.
Born inÃÂ London, Sanders began his career in photography in the mid-1960s, where he often recorded the faces of well-known musicians includingÃÂ Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison andÃÂ The Rolling Stones.ÃÂ In the 1970s, his attention shifted, which led him to the traditional and spiritual universe of Islam. He converted to Islam in 1971. The same year, Sanders was given a unique opportunity to record the warmth of the world's largest worship gathering inÃÂ MeccaÃÂ during theÃÂ HajjÃÂ season. These pictures have appeared in major UK andÃÂ EuropeanÃÂ magazines such asÃÂ The Sunday Times, The ObserverÃÂ and Paris Match. Sanders travelled around the world to meet and capture the images of saints and sages of Islam which he has later published in a book titled 'Meetings with Mountains'.
