About Peter Hunt Photography
I have been passionate about photography for over 45 years. I have a particular interest in people, places and digital art.
My journey started in the 1970's when I used my friends film camera, an Olympus OM10. I was fascinated by the results I achieved on my first trip out and from that moment I was totally hooked. In 1980, I joined H M Forces, the perfect opportunity to use my new found camera skills when traveling across the globe. My memories from this time were amazing and exciting and the camera was always there for me to record those events. When I rejoined civilian life, I needed more from my photography and so I started to look for something that would allow me to use my skills and love of people and places.
Social Photography
My dreams came true in 2000, when I became a professional social photographer, covering over 500 weddings and events in a 20 year career that was one of the most exciting times of my working life. Social photography is a challenging discipline, you only get one chance to get things right. I found the pressure that was presented to me as a wedding photographer, made me more alert to the events happening around me, and consequently gaining the shots that the bride & groom would love.
Bespoke Digital Art
I have now slowed down and retired from the fast paced social photography scene, I am now capturing images to create digital art, that I hope, my audience will enjoy at their leisure. I am available for commissions from your own digital files, hard copies or have an idea you wish to create. I still use a traditional film camera alongside the more modern digital cameras and drones. I believe film has something to offer in this digital world, and rumors have it, film is making a bit of a come back for more specialist applications.
Smart Phone Photography
Until recently I hadn't considered using my smart phone for anything more than quick snaps of family & friends or the odd celebration to capture a memory, I use a Google Pixel 7 Pro phone, they are superb for creating images and this has led me to start using my smart phone more seriously on a daily basis. The quality that can be achieved for digital online viewing is phenomenal and with a little help from some editing apps, the outputs can be very pleasing indeed. While I don't think the smart phone will be a replacement for my professional camera set ups, it will certainly be my day to day go to tool for those unplanned events and outings or where carrying too much kit would be a burden.
