Who is this guy?
Peter has been a passionate photographer for over thirty years. He is also a 30-year veteran of the teaching profession at the elementary, secondary and post-secondary levels. Peter has been able to combine these two loves with the development of photography and graphic design courses and multi-day workshops. “There is no greater joy than seeing a student’s eyes light up when you pass on the power of creative thought and expression.” Peter is also an outdoor enthusiast with a passion for wilderness camping, canoeing, kayaking and hiking.
With his first camera purchase at the age of 12, Peter was instantly hooked. Inspired by Canadian photographer, Freeman Patterson and his book, "The Art of Seeing", Peter is always striving to see the world in ways that most people miss. The art of photography has definitely changed over the past decade. There is a fluidity between the initial idea and the final product that just didn't exist a few years ago. Rooted in film, Peter has really grown as a photographer in the digital age.
Peter’s work has been published in a number of magazines including Canadian Geographic, Digital Photographer, PhotoNews and Shutterbug, along with being recognized for excellence and vision on a number of websites. Peter has been shooting with Olympus cameras right from the start and has been an Olympus Visionary since 2014 - the only Canadian ambassador for this well-respected company.
Peter lives on Manitoulin Island (Ontario, Canada) with his wife and the comings and goings of six adult children. The vast majority of his photos help show off the indelible beauty of the Northern Ontario landscape.
