Photography took a serious turn for Peter Latham me in 1989, when he packed so much camera equipment onto the back of his bike, he could barely lift it! He pedalled his way around the South Island for six months and dreamed of being a landscape photographer, then travelled the world as a photographer aboard cruise ships. A photographer's exhibition in Alaska wowed him so much that when he returned home to N.Z. in 2003, Peter began to trial printing onto canvas. Printer technology was advancing rapidly at that time and both the results and response he got from those early canvas prints was very encouraging. He developed an audience for his work through a network of art galleries and suddenly found himself very busy, having discovered his niche.

LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT his first book was published ny New Holland Publishers in 2017 and this set a high standard. It was so well received that Peter believed any future title must exceed it. After many missions to capture the images for a new book and a mammoth self-publishing project which involved 1000 hours of design, writing, editing, proofing and more editing, Peter is proud to finally present LAND OF LIGHT.
