Peter Liu Photography's photostream
|
I got my first serious camera when I was about 15, though I'd been around them all my life. My father was a journalist, so I was no stranger to the craft or those who practiced it. Among his collection was a well-used, war-weary Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, which he let me use as soon as he could be sure I wouldn't break it. In the years since, I've had the privilege of traveling the world and capturing thousands of photographs of landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, nature and people, on land and underwater.

"Having shot with Peter over the years it's always an education and a great time. Whether shooting for a living or just for the fun of it Peter is always a pro. He brings an intensity and passion to everything he does that is an inspiration. I'm always impressed at how he can pull just the right composition out of a shot with nothing extra but just what needs to be there to tie it all together. When you shoot with the best it always makes your own work better so I guess I’ll just have to keep shooting with him!"

"Peter is a long-time friend and an extraordinary photographer! He combines an artistic "eye" with a meticulous attention to detail that allows him to craft incredible photographs! Peter's strengths in technology further add to the mix. His underwater photographs strike me as particularly outstanding!
On the human side, Peter is a great guy and a good friend. He is one of those folks that I am delighted to count among my friends!

"I've had the great good fortune to know Peter Liu for a decade now. I'm continuously amazed at his incredible eye for beauty and subject matter. Peter is easily one of the finest photographers I know. The preceding statement takes on even grater significance considering I'm including my friend the National Geographic photographer in the comparison group.
Peter is as amazing a person and friend as he is a photographer. He has always been generous with his time and his talent . . .sometimes over and over . . . to this old photo hack! Thanks for all you are and do, Peter! :-)"22nd April, 2008
