"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."
