The Artist

"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, winning several awards in the process. In the past 6 years, Peter has returned to his roots and his love of the still camera, concentrating on his fine art Black and White prints. He has a great love of trees and vintage autos that often figure prominently in his images. He predominately works in Black and White, and his prints hang in private collections and galleries throughout North America and Europe.

 

 "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. I was greatly influenced by Helmut Newton and Herb Ritts throughout my commercial career. The depth and contrast of their black and white images incline me to push the visual envelope further in terms of classic photography."
