Hi there! Yes, that's me, and the mud bath was great!

My name is Tristan Savatier and I am a freelance photographer.

My main interests are industrial photography and environmental photography. Don't hesitate to contact me for serious projects or assignments in the San Francisco Bay Area or other parts of the world.

From this website you can access more than 11,000 amazing photos that I took around the world and in the San Francisco area where I am based. You can use the search box to look for a particular image or subject. Here is a sample of my editorial work.

My photos are organized in series (albums) by themes or subjects.

Many of my photos have been published in magazines and used for advertising. Some of my photos are now part of the Getty Images catalog, and some of my Industrial photos are now represented by the Construction Photography photo agency in London.

Free use is allowed on personal (non commercial) blogs and websites with no advertising, provided that you use the Embed HTML code that I provide, that you do not duplicate my images on your server and that you include a working link to my website (see conditions here).

All my photos are available in high-resolution, high-quality suitable for publishing and in most cases, royalty free stock photo licenses for screen-size or hi-res images can be acquired on-line (contact me for photo licensing questions).

Very Nice to Look at,,,,, My name is Rahma.. Your Remember me... SEMERU.......

En attendant votre retour d'Indonésie... Looking forward to see your new pictures!

Tristan - appreciate your cover of the hotlinking issue at Google. Perhaps you should see what Sen Patrick Leahy is saying about this also. I think more people need to support what Leahy is doing.
As regards Google, they do not respond to legal [email removed - click "write a comment" to view email] when you have serious copyright violation. In fact, they appear to support the link farms like connect.in.com and allow them to holink images. Because they are notified by those having commercial relationships with Adsense about the redirect issue and because the original content is stolen using their Search Engine, I believe they are liable. I can see Google has done nothing about the multi-billion hotlinking industry since you posted in June, and that Leahy has to subpoena Google to attend anti-piracy hearings.

who its the raver girl you took a picture of she has pink and yellow cyber dreads...

hi Tristan, Love your photos! Are you related to the Savatier family from Sucre, Bolivia? Regards, MC Imana

this photos are amazing! wish i could go to those places.!

thanks! currently i use a DSLR camera (sony a700), but in the past i used other cameras (mostly DSLR or bridge-type). i get inspired by lots of things i see that i feel are visually interesting.

hi, i am a college student and have picked your photography as my inspirational artist's work. As i need info on you for my porject i was wondering if you could tell me what camera type you used for most of your images, and if it's not too personal why and how you were inspired? (the work i am looking at is your black and white train tracks and tunnels) Thank you Colette Pettitt

i answered you by email. did you get my message?

Hello, We have now viewed your photo gallery and think your work is outstanding . We love the photos of our Lunapillar and would like to get copies . Thanks for including us in your photo stream,we are honored! Great seeing you at S. F. Decom. Jeff and Lisa Hannan

Hi Tristan, I found a great picture for my article that I would like to upload to Suite101. There will be some advertising on the page. Can I use your San Francisco construction workers picture? Please contact me at rlofton [email removed - click "write a comment" to view email]. Hope to hear from you soon! ~ Robin

Hey! I met you yesterday at the Love Parade, and you took a picture of me (the rhinestones on the face!!) I was hoping I could get a copy of pics! Thanks!

You captured a wonderful picture of the temple at Burning Man 2009 with my dogs ashes in it. I would love to buy that picture from you if you would consider selling it.

Your photos are amazing. I'm glad I didn't see where that pink hair pic came from. If I had, you would have never left me a message on my blog and I might not have seen your site. These images are incredible. The diversity and the colors in them are outstanding. You are very talented! :)

where did you take the picture of the three headed elephant in Thailand? i have a tattoo of it and would love to visit

wow...丰富多彩... :D

amazing work.. really opened my eyes to such a diverse range of people/communities/places!! thankyou x

Hi Tristan,
I am working on an advertising campaign and would like to inquire about licensing one or more of your photos.
Please get in touch with me as soon as you are able.
Thanks! all the best,
Cheryl
