Giving Chance a Chance
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

Dark images can elicit a vicarious emotional response, heightening our senses and engaging us to imagine tension, isolation or a sense of danger. more
Winter Trees
Cottonwood trees grow there and show lovely, soft spring green leaves as the season begins, and develop a deep rich green that contrasts with the dark red sandstone walls. more
Holloways
Ensconced by high earthen walls and a canopy of trees for a roof, I wander through the ancient sunken holloways of Devon. These are powerful portals into deep time, where the echoes of the old world seem palpable. more
The Wounded Hill
Titterstone Clee Hill is an iconic and much-loved feature of South Shropshire, looming above the medieval market town of Ludlow. more
Moving Times
I began to experiment a little. How could it be possible to give the photographs the dynamics that such a storm normally produces? How would it be possible to generate wind and rain on a dry day? more
Escaping Oblivion
The emotional and psychological uplifting, the mental elevation you will feel when you find that true connection with your subject is far superior to the ephemeral appraisal of a well-constructed image that will be forgotten in the oblivion most photographers live in today. more
