Work[]

Klett's photographic work focuses on the western landscape and man’s interaction with it.[7] In particular, his photographs respond to historic images and his projects explore relationships between time, change and perception.[8]

He is particularly known for his rephotography projects, recently with collaborator Byron Wolfe, which included western landscapes, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and Glenn Canyon.[9][10]

His work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum[11] and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.[12]
