Richard Pelletier

Writer & Photographer  ·  Whidbey Island, Washington

Greetings from Whidbey Island, this wondrous place just north of Seattle, on Puget Sound. Like many others, I’ve come to love this place for the trees, the water, the beaches, the light, the people, the arts. And the ferries. I write fiction, make photographs, and art books.

If I May Have Whidbey

If I May Have Whidbey

This is my limited edition book of 37 silver halide photographs shot on Whidbey over the last nine years. In all ways this has been a labor of love. If this magical place has stolen your heart, as it has mine, this might be the book for you.

Signed, numbered, limited to 30 copies. Each copy is made to order. Every copy can be personalized.

About the book

Shooting France, Italy, & the United Kingdom.

I’ve spent some of the last few years traveling through Europe — Scotland, Paris and Brittany, a few Italian hill towns, and London.

This body of work is in the process of becoming a book.
