Photographers and film makers

With Lewis Morley as his mentor, Peter made a powerfully creative start as a photographer. He quickly earned the right to be in the right place to shoot stars including Bette Davis, Dirk Bogarde, Warren Beatty, Robert Redford and John Malkovich, as well as people who know a lot about cameras and imagery, such as Quentin Tarantino, Wim Wenders, Jean-Luc Godard and Derek Jarman.
