Carl Moon (1878–1948) was an American photographer, painter, and author renowned for his evocative portraits of Native American peoples. His work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, Edward S. Curtis and Joseph K. Dixon, who similarly sought to document the lives and cultures of Native American tribes during the early 20th century. Moon's portraits are celebrated for their artistic quality, ethnographic significance, and the respectful manner in which he captured his subjects.

Moon's journey into the world of Native American portraiture began in the early 1900s when he moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. There, he opened a photography studio and began to immerse himself in the local cultures. His fascination with Native American life led him to travel extensively across the American Southwest, where he photographed members of various tribes, including the Hopi, Navajo, Apache, and Pueblo peoples. Moon's portraits are distinguished by their intimate and dignified portrayal of his subjects, often capturing them in traditional attire and settings that reflect their cultural heritage.

In addition to his photographic work, Carl Moon was also an accomplished painter and illustrator. His paintings often depicted similar themes to his photographs, focusing on the daily lives, ceremonies, and landscapes of Native American communities. Moon's dual talents in photography and painting allowed him to create a comprehensive visual record of the cultures he so deeply admired.

Moon's work gained significant recognition during his lifetime, with his photographs being featured in various publications and exhibitions. His portraits were not only artistic achievements but also valuable ethnographic records that contributed to the broader understanding and appreciation of Native American cultures. Today, Carl Moon's portraits are held in high esteem by historians, art collectors, and cultural institutions, serving as a poignant reminder of the rich and diverse heritage of Native American peoples.
