Carl E. Moon (American, 1878 – 1948) learned his craft as an apprentice to a photography studio. Subsequently he moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and opened his own studio, where he made pictorial studies of Indians that were living in the region.

In the early 1920's Moon established a studio in Pasadena, California, where he continued to photograph and paint. During the last three decades of this career, the Photographer produced works for Henry E. Huntington, published "Indians of the Southwest", and contributed illustrations for children's books written by his wife, Grace Purdie Moon.
