About
I love photography, not only for the artistic and technical aspects of it, but because I truly enjoy collaborating with my clients to ensure they get exactly what they're hoping for from their shoot. On-set, I'm friendly, easy to work with, adaptable, creative, and deliberate. On many shoots, you'll be able to see results in real-time on an iPad tethered to the camera.
I specialize in architecture and interiors photography, aerial (drone, helicopter, and small plane) photography, and maritime photography (shipping and sailing). Have a look at my portfolio and if you like what you see, I hope you'll get in touch! I'd love to hear how I can be of service to you.

He responded so promptly and was able to accommodate me last minute for a shoot the very next day. He showed up on time, took all the pictures and had them edited back to me 9AM next morning. What!!! He’s honest and upfront from the very first message. He isn’t the cheapest bid you’ll get on Thumbtack but he sure is the best. Do it.

Peter performed excellent work for me in San Francisco. As a commercial real estate agent, it's very important to have high quality photographs prepared for marketing. His work will definitely get prospective Tenants through the door. Additionally, his turn around time for the final product was just a few days. I would definitely use him again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I keep rate sheets for various different types of work to ensure fairness in pricing, and based on those rates, can prepare custom bids for any given shoot after discussing the project with my client.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
This is pretty straightforward; I discuss the job with my client, to learn what they have in mind and what they need it for. From there I work with them to plan a shoot that will take care of them, and we get it on the calendar.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In addition to two decades of self-study, I spent six months in full-time studies at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Montana, and still to this day attend workshops and pay for additional online training. I am also an FAA licensed drone pilot.
