He studied photography at the Nova Scotia Community College, honed his skills as a photographer with both daily newspapers,
managed a retail photo operation and attended Henson College of Dalhousie University before launching his professional career ten years ago.
Peter has become renowned for his sensitive and creative treatment of subjects. Whether it’s commercial photography for Parks Canada and
The Province of Nova Scotia, still photography for film Documentaries, promotional work for performing artists or personally-inspired images displayed at
the Maritime Professional Photographers and The National
Defence Annual Exhibitions held in New Brunswick and Ottawa, where He placed third.
Peter was also the recipient of the 2003 Portia White emerging artist award, designated by filmmaker Dr. Sylvia Hamilton presented at the Province House.
He has reflected upon the works of the great photographer of the Harlem Renaissance, James Van der Zee and Monty Zucker,
a photographer who is world-renowned for his creativity and artistry. He is working, on two fronts, to further immerse himself in
the technology and creative aspect of his art. Peter has traveled to Falmouth, Massachusetts to study with some of North America's finest at
the New England Institute of Professional Photography.
He combines this training along with a background in communications to assist him as he delves into the personality of the subjects he captures artistically.
A Naturalist at heart, parks provide him inspiration for his work. He experience's nature
through recreational activities such as canoeing, fishing and hiking,
and is renewed to creatively capture the wonder of life using his lenses.
