Biography

Originally from Liverpool, Peter had always immersed himself in rock culture. Lacking a musical ear, he had an eye for photography from an early age. Whilst the whole of Liverpool was listening to the Beatles on the radio, Peter had already turned his attention to the American music scene. Barely 18 years old, contrary to the wishes of his parents, he decided to go to London in 1969 to become a photographer. Peter knew that institutional training would not suit his strong personality. He therefore chose to train himself in the field offering his current events photographs to the press. Up against rebuffs but inspired by the criticism and advice handed out to him, Peter learnt to become a good technician ending up a talented photographer. He then felt ready to achieve his dream to be a rock photographer and knocked at the door of a musical press group. He was handed his first report. In July 1972 when Peter was only just 23 years old he went to Montreal to photograph the Rolling Stones in concert. His career as a photographer had taken off. His skill allowed him to disengage from technical contingencies achieving artistic candid photos. He was content to photograph music legends like Bob Marley, Keith Richards, Lou Reed and Miles Davis on stage. His huge respect for musicians allowed him to feel closer to on-stage reality. Peter is now living in Cornwall, where he continues to work as a photographer.
