Based in Tokyo and Northern California and born in Washington, D.C., Stirling Elmendorf has spent nearly half his life overseas, living in Honduras, Ecuador, India, Mozambique, Rwanda and Japan. Growing up with a professional photographer mother was a source of influence and inspiration. Travel has taken Stirling to incredibly populous and equally remote locations on the planet. His photographic catalog includes much of the United States and Hawaii, Mexico, France, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, New Zealand, Barbados, Belize, Tanzania and Dubai. His fine art work has been displayed in galleries in Washington DC, San Francisco and Japan and his photographs published in the New York Times, National Geographic Traveler Magazine and many industry-leading books and websites on architecture, design, conservation and the environment. His dynamic, sharp and creative wife and business partner, Kumiko, supports all aspects of the business and brings energy and professionalism to every project and production. Regardless of what project he undertakes, Stirling infuses his images with dynamism, creativity and power.
