Peter is an artist who has worked with many different mediums through his life, including Music producing & directing. Performing Arts, Writing, Film Making, Drawing and Photography. 
Peter brought his first SLR camera in 1978 and has snapped away ever since, traveling around Aotearoa New Zealand over the decades and capturing the sublime light, shadows and colours of our beautiful islands. 
 
“Looking Up,” are photos taken in and around Auckland CBD. 
 
People these days seem transfixed by smartphones, and we are saturated in the symbols and propaganda therein. Mesmerized by the screen light, much of what is here, now and present passes unnoticed. No one looks up from their busy lives, they remain oblivious. 
 
These colossal city structures can convey mediocrity in basic shape & form; until you turn it on a quirky angle, augment shadows, light and geometry. Then wonderfully these city scapes reveal a creative process, a potential and a hidden dynamic. Art. 
All the more fun for looking up, around and beyond.
