"Peter's
stark,
sere images, whether of the high
desert, the high Sierra, or of a
thousand-year-old lodge pine
effortlessly take one on a
journey through space and time.
It’s not just the subject matter
that calls to mind Ansel Adams’s
work. It’s the timeless, limitless
clarity of the images themselves
that create that sense of awe and
humility about the planet we live on".-Alexander
L. Aldrich,
Executive Director,
Vermont Arts Council
Over a period of 25 years, Peter
worked throughout the
US and Europe as a commercial still
photographer with numerous clients
and was published throughout the
world. He followed with an
exploration of cinematography, which
led him to become a respected
director of photography. In the past
6 years,
Peter has returned to his roots and
his love of the natural world,
concentrating on his fine art BW
landscape work.
He has a great love of trees that
often figures prominently in his
images. He
predominately works in Black and
White and his prints hang in private
collections and galleries throughout
North America.
“Nothing
inspires me more than the natural
world and I aspire to record t he
awe of what Nature offers us. I love
working in classic black and white.
Taking the impact of color away from
an image breaks it down to the true
tonal range and invokes in me a
sense of depth and clarity. I find
it intriguing to study a subject to
find whether I can remove the
color’s emotional impact to achieve
that elusive sense of wonder and
depth, yet still inspire a profound
connection to the viewer by making
my prints come alive as much as
possible. Often, I trek to a
location many times to find that
inspiring balance of light and tonal
range that is paramount to
photography. I was greatly
influenced by Helmut Newton and Herb
Ritts throughout my commercial
career. Even though their work was
primarily portrait or still life,
the depth and contrast of their
black and white images incline me to
push the visual envelope further in
terms of classic landscape
photography. I definitely admire
such greats as Ansel Adams, but I
strive to create a different feel to
classic landscape photography."
