"In whatever one does there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart"
- Henri Cartier-Bresson
I am a portrait photographer living in North Carolina. I've been taking portraits for the past 20 years or so. Much of my career up to now has been spent photographing performing artists. I have such an appreciation for the beauty and energy they bring into the world and share with all of us.
I have stepped back from doing photography as a full-time job, and now pursue photography assignments as they arise whether on a personal basis, or for others. I'm also now photographing with film. The vast majority of my pictures were taken with digital cameras, but I have been drawn back to the more intentional approach of using film.
The picture above was taken by my wife on a hike at Stone Mountain State Park, NC. This particular picture of me was taken on Wolf Rock on a foggy, cool, late November day. You see me here lining up a shot with one of my Hasselblad cameras. I'm grateful to my wife for taking this picture of me. I feel most at peace when I'm inspired by my surroundings and spend time (forest bathing) with my wife.
Thank you for taking the time to look around my site; I sincerely appreciate your interest in my work.
Take care, Peter
