Bayou Dreams: A Journey Home
Paddling through the ancient cypress groves in the soft mist of the early morning transports you to another place and time. These 2,000 year old trees in and around the Atchafalaya Basin exude a special kind of magic and mystery. Words and even photographs fall short of conveying the experience of silently floating through the water among these ancient trees decorated in fall colour and draped in Spanish moss. I’d been thinking about photographing the fall colours in the more
New Beginnings
In April 2021 they asked six talented photographers to make some images around the theme of “New Beginnings” and the real prospect of the COVID-19 pandemic being on the decline. more
The Promised Land
Joshua Tree National Park is wonderfully ordinary and I understand its popularity. Slowing down to listen to cactus wrens, watch the light change, and photograph with no expectations has been one of the greatest gifts I’ve received as a photographer. more
The Transformational Power of Winter
Moorland streams, usually unnoticed, take the guise of snakes, upturned feeding troughs become space invaders, rough moorland becomes sand dunes, roads become lightning strikes, riverbanks ice realms. more
The Art of Leaves
There is artistry to a leaf that I find hard to put into words. In looking at leaves, the colours and veining, the patterns and textures, I get a good feeling. more
Grounded
This photography project began as a piece of work to document a year in the life of Hollesley Marshes. It is an area I have been fascinated with for a while and one I walk to every morning with my dog. more
Don’t Destroy the Cypress Swamp Experience!

A mossy labyrinth of gnarled roots and twisted branches, it instantly felt like I was on the film set of Star Wars in the Dagobah woodland which was inhabited by Yoda. more
Interview with Judy Sharrock
Come lockdown, I saw that Alex Hare and Lizzy Shepherd were running some online bookmaking workshops. So, I signed up for that which was really helpful and got me going. more

This approach has helped me to free myself from the limitations described above and to continue my photographic activity with renewed enthusiasm. more
Echoes of the Great War
In April 2016, Peter's exhibition "Echos of the Great War " opened at Weston Park in Sheffield and marked 100 years since the Battle of the Somme. Peter’s Great Uncle William Wyatt Bagshawe fought and died in the Somme and through retracing the footsteps of his great uncle, he took black and white photographs as the land as it is now. Suggesting the terrain of the frontline through details and abstractions. more
The Trees in my Photographs
This ethereal vision, the muffled sound of autumn and raindrops, of the wind in the leaves, gave off a sense of absolute peace, the same feeling that I constantly look for in my photographic experiences, among the same landscapes projected in this reality. more
Watchers of the Forest
As the months passed, I must have looked at thousands of trees. In the endeavour to find the ones that gave me a tug. more
The Fröttmaninger Heide
There is a constant dialogue between nature and humanity, a constant shift between two worlds that are separated yet together in an odd way. more
In Celebration of Projects
The mandatary ‘lockdown’ of March/April 2020 enabled me to look again very much closer to home but this time venturing in a different geographical direction, one that followed sandy narrow trails, quite at odds with the rocky greater forest around them. more
