With over six decades behind the lens, Peter Pickering has lived and breathed the art of black-and-white street photography. Experience doesn’t make him the best — it simply means he’s been watching, learning, and listening to the streets for a long time.
For Peter, photography isn’t about claiming mastery — it’s about curiosity. It’s about noticing what others overlook, understanding light as language, and recognising that every face, gesture, and shadow carries a story. He’s still learning with every frame he takes.
Through his work, Peter captures unfiltered human moments that speak quietly of truth, humour, and compassion. He believes the greatest lessons often come not from teaching, but from sharing — and if what he’s learned can help someone beginning their journey, then that’s reward enough.
