Based in Chicago, Illinois, Turk Quixote has been photographing professionally for more than 55 years. Using state-of-the-art digital equipment, along with standard film imaging techniques, commercial work, as well as fine art, landscape and travel images, reflect our dedication to excellence and creativity. Our work is reflective of Carl W. Turk.  He photographed, pioneered and interviewed many people in his lifetime from Malcolm X. to Georgia O'Keefe. His portfolio has become the core of our stock photography (millions of photos) which took a lifetime to capture, images from 1950-2007. We continue to push forward to stimulate the mind with a visual inspiration that's sets us apart.

Its not always about the image itself but the emotion that it evokes. The feeling we get from images is what makes us feel alive. The moment that emotion hits us is when we realize that this image can move us. To feel alive is what most people want to feel whether it is through photos or another source that is euphoric. Life is short and photography reminds us of that. So I feel a photograph should whisper something special to the viewer to make them feel alive even for an instant.
