During the late 80’s Peter Latham dreamt of becoming a landscape photographer as he would capture the incredible scenery on his Canon T70. Peter realised his dream after a bicycle expedition touring New Zealand’s beautiful and rugged South Island. He spent the following years travelling the world as a photographer on cruise ships, until returning home to New Zealand in 2003, where he began experimenting with images on canvas.
Peter's extraordinary photographs all come with remarkable stories as to how he made the shots, in focus.

About Tropical Tones:
"A question I'm often asked is 'where is my favourite part of the country?' Whilst it's virtually impossible to narrow it to only one place, the Heaphy track's coastal section is definitely in my top 5. The nikau palms here are extraordinary, set against a wild coastline of remote beaches. It's actually quite difficult to find any particular composition that really does them justice, but I believe this image does. It's quite stunning printed on metallic canvas & mounted with a vintage frame, creating a period feel that is quite beautiful & timeless."

About Into the Wind:
"Having driven this section of the coast for many many years, I had been seeking a strong image of Kapti island, something compelling, something I hadn't seen before. And on this afternoon, the wind was fair howling. Perfect! Spotting a group of gulls on the beach, I inched closer until they took flight - a process I repeated a dozen times until I felt I had the right combination of gulls & light. And I think this nails it!"

About Jackpot:
I only decided to take this road in the last second & it turned into the most remarkable day of all, the season’s first snow had fallen the day before & the weather was in constant flux. After capturing the fallen leaves under this tree, something made me look back over my shoulder & I could hardly believe what I was looking at ...OMG, QUICK! Fighting driving rain, I struggled to keep my lens clear long enough to capture the magic before the light dulled & this rainbow faded. Two frames were all I got, but I reckoned I'd hit the jackpot!
