Pete’s fascination with photography began in a small darkroom run by his great-uncle Jim. That early spark turned into a lifelong pursuit of light, guiding him through more than a decade as a naturalist and expedition photographer. His career spans mountain, desert, rainforest and marine ecosystems across the UK, Europe, North America and the Middle East.

Specializing in wildlife and landscape photography, Pete emphasizes light, mood and emotion in his work. He prefers candid moments and storytelling frames—particularly during golden hour and into the night, where his experience with the aurora borealis and light painting come into focus. He’s led long exposure workshops in British Columbia that explore artificial lighting as a creative tool to evoke human presence in wild spaces.

As a Sony Alpha Ambassador workshop leader, Pete teaches advanced photographic techniques, including long-exposure and action photography, conservation storytelling and dynamic product imaging. He is also fluent in post-processing with Lightroom and Topaz, ensuring consistent, high-quality output.

Pete’s latest work includes product photography for outdoor gear companies, creating authentic, real-world visuals. He recently added Advanced Open Water Diver certification to expand his photography into ship-based expeditions.

When not guiding, Pete is often deep in the backcountry, splitboarding and mountaineering in British Columbia, or racing enduro mountain bikes and sailboats. Regardless of location, photography remains his tool for deeper engagement with the natural world—capturing fleeting encounters with wild places, light and life.
