Jim Wageman

In each of the books that he has created, photographer/author Jim Wageman’s goal has been to stimulate the reader’s interest by combining concise texts with arresting photographs and explanatory captions, presenting both words and images within visually striking and appealing layouts. A former award-winning art director and designer at leading illustrated-book publishers in New York, Jim has also served as director of graphic design at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. For the past several years he has lived in Thailand, traveling throughout that country as well as Cambodia, Japan, Myanmar (Burma), and Vietnam, visiting and exploring historic Khmer/Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, and other sacred sites along the way. Many of his travel and cultural photographs may be seen on his website: http://jimwagemanphoto.com/.
