In the world, but not of it.
Hutterite Photography by Tim Smith

For the past 15 years, Manitoba-based photographer Tim Smith has documented the daily lives of the Hutterites—a pacifist Anabaptist community with roots in the 16th-century Reformation. Living in colonies across western Canada and the northwestern United States, the Hutterites maintain their culture and traditions through communal living, self-sufficiency, and a steadfast separation from mainstream society. With over 45,000 members in approximately 500 colonies, they represent one of the most enduring and successful models of communal life today.
