Pete* (*Peter!!?)

My Bio: Pete is an up and coming photographer whose style and influence comes from a love of fine art and extensive industry experience. Pete’s focus is on the shoot objective and the subject’s persona. This forethought sets up meaningful spontaneity in line with the brief when it is needed most. Pete strives for raw detail, impact lighting and leading composition. His unconventional, no-nonsense personality creates an approach that is quick and to the point with a photo journalistic edge. This, coupled with his post production skills as a pioneer high-end retouch artist, make for well crafted and interesting photography. ---------- For everything else I'm a typical Gemini always on the go yet always not. If you understand what I mean we're on the same page, well off the book altogether. The most important thing in my life is the people around me, don't care to keep up with the Jones, not into fads or money, anti consumerism, just like to make the most of each day and enjoy what adventures life brings up. I go out to bars, and generally hang out with friends, always up for a 1am random call to get on it. I’m interested in what most people have to offer so I like introducing myself and chatting with anyone. Appreciate having great family and friends I can trust. Like the alternative scene but too lazy to show it. Get bored easily so I'm always putting myself in the shit for a challenge to get out of it or move on. Hate conforming, think outside the square, bit of a smartarse, like to push the boundaries. More of a thinker than a doer. Can be a bit of a dork, but not really. Not always easily understood so go with it. Have been described as Kramer on Seinfeld, which is probably about right. Live and let live. Cheers to that... BTW since no one really gets what I do at work this is it. I manage the Digital Colour Centre for a publishing company which is the Photography Studio and Retouch department combined. I’m basically responsible for the quality and reproduction of every picture for around 20 magazines (which is about 50% of the content) as well as Inhouse Photography and its expansion.
