The  Image Expedition is an organization designed to photographically document and preserve ancient places and indigenous ways of life that, with the passage of time, might otherwise be lost forever...it is global visual artifact gathering.

We are committed to exploring cultures in a non-invasive manner in order to visually tell a story that can be passed to future generations. Our work is interpreted and expressed in fine art photography, digital video and supplemented with explanatory text .
