Peter Grant: Life through the lens

Waipu-based photographer Peter Grant is fairly new to Northland having recently arrived by yacht after crossing the Pacific with his family. 

“Launching into a sailing adventure was the only way I could tear myself away from my busy London-based photography business,” says Peter.

Originally from Wellington, Peter built up his photography business in London by doing a variety of work: editorial (travel, ski, corporate), architectural, promotional, and a lot of weddings.

“Photographing weddings is always exciting to me, capturing the atmosphere and joy of these ritualistic celebrations,” says Peter. “Each has a unique personal flavour; I feel very privileged to have documented so many special occasions.”

He offers a bespoke service catering to exactly what the bride and groom want – formal, glamour, candid and creative. All images are presented on disc for the family to print copyright free.

Since being back in New Zealand Peter has expanded his skills to video. 

“Becoming a film maker has been a natural progression for me.” 

Peter has completed film courses, bought video equipment, learnt how to edit and made a number short films, documentaries and wedding videos. He hopes to make documentaries for television and start up a YouTube channel with his talented son within the next year.
