About me
| Biography | In 2002 Peter gave up a long and distinguished career in television design to concentrate on travel photography, and set off to re-explore South and Central America, India, Southeast Asia and Australasia. Always an ardent traveller he has had folios published in leading international photographic magazines over the past 30 years. In 2004 he held a major three-week one-man show entitled 'Signs of Life' at the prestigious OXO Gallery on London's South Bank, featuring image from those trips. Since then he has continued to travel, and has taught photography via his association with the travel company ‘Authentic Adventures’. He has regularly exhibited both at the Centrespace Gallery and the Art Garden Gallery in Bristol, and in the First Sight Gallery in Bath. His most recent exhibition at the Glass Room Gallery in Bristol's Colston Hall was entitled 'Chasing Colour' and was based on his ‘Blurb’ published book featuring image from Central America. |
| Artist Statement | As a photographic observer my interest lies in the seemingly mundane aspects of everyday life, and the images that I capture are simple records of the things and events observed on a daily basis. It is the human interest in an image that engages me, and thus I am often drawn to urban environments where I can wander at my leisure and observe life as it is lived on the streets. |
