Work
Klett's photographic work focuses on the western landscape and man’s interaction with it.[10] In particular, his photographs respond to historic images and his projects explore relationships between time, change and perception.[11]
He is particularly known for his
rephotography projects, recently with collaborator
Byron Wolfe, which included western landscapes, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and Glenn Canyon.[12][13]
