Peter formed the Military Picture Library in 1971 after leaving school, initially shooting and supplying defence-related images to a wide variety of markets via Spectrum Colour Library, an established stock library. He has gone on to document Bear Grylls record-breaking Champagne Mumm Altitude Challenge.

Peter is a WO2 in the Army Cadets, working as Master Photographer/Regional Media Officer for Headquarters South West. Some 50% of all published material used by Army Cadets nationwide is my work.

Additionally, I also work as an air-to-air photographer in WW2-era Tiger Moth biplanes, shooting stills and video.

He has published a fine art book with co-author Neil Mercer, Spirit of Dartmoor Tin.
