The Dalai Lama Photographer: San Francisco's Alison Wright

Boston Globe:

When the Dalai Lama was in Boston this month, he was thronged by thousands of devotees. If you looked closely, you could see a petite blond woman in the background -- or foreground, depending on her camera angle. Alison Wright was along as the official photographer on the Tibetan spiritual leader's Boston and New York trip.

"He's wonderful to shoot, and for me to see him again, I really see how open my heart can become," she says of the man who has written the foreword for three of her photography books. She also shot the photos for an anthology of essays about him, "A Simple Monk."

"I've been photographing him for years. I love him, but you have to remember what you're doing," she says. She has seen other photographers get so star-struck in the Dalai Lama's presence that "they don't get anything." Wright has never had that problem. She always gets something, whether it's shooting the Dalai Lama in Nepal, swimming with beluga whales in the Arctic Ocean, living with Bedouins in the Sinai Desert, or documenting shamans in the Amazon jungle.
