More about Pete M....
What do you love about your job?
i love the freedom and opportunities it offers me. i have been to so many places and businesses i would never have had the chance to without a camera. i am loving shooting video footage. i have done a number of commissions now as well as stock shoots and personal work. i love the narrative aspect of this, as it ties in really well with my stills. i also love being able to offer someone a perspective of their business, child, family that they may have never seenuntil i took a photo of it.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
i have done many shoots for many clients family lifestyle shoots for various genres, business and industry shoots, real estate and food shoots. the key for my work is the lighting. this is what makes or breaks a photo in my eyes. i have a particualr style which i like and it is often somethign which cannot be seen by the naked eye, it elevates my shot from an everyday scene to something more aspirational. i am also very good at getting those natural shots with models or normal people, as i try to make it look fairly candid.

i have been listed in the Colour awards for 3 years running.
