History
Growing up in the suburb of St Ives and at the early age of 10, found himself exploring as much of the Australian bush as he could find. Completing a Motor Mechanics apprenticeship in 1989, his photographic career started immediately after purchasing his first camera in 1990. Six months after his proud purchase his first published image appeared on the cover of a magazine.
It was at this point he found himself in the Whitsundays, on the Great Barrier Reef shooting Underwater and holiday makers on the Reef. After learning as much as he could in the travel tourism industry, he made his way to Perisher Valley in the Australian Snow fields to work as a Ski Photographer. Shortly before turning Freelance he moved to Cairns to work as an action photographer with AJ Hackett Bungy. As a freelance sports photographer he was able to travel the world.

Peter is a Freelance photographer and his work has been published in all corners of the world.
One of Peter’s recent self Projects is to bring images of Australia’s Ancient History back for archival purposes. Travelling to remote outback places for up to 3 months at a time looking for Aboriginal artefacts along the way.
