Art Perry is best known for his publication The Tibetans: Photographs - the result of five years travel throughout Himalayan Buddhist and nomadic communities. Perry has paralleled this photographing and writing about oppressed world communities with his ongoing religious belief in and valuing of the holiness within outsider culture... culture that goes counter to the mainstream.
