Peter entered the Film Industry in 1980 as a Rostrum Cameraman. After a couple of years he was offered a job on "The Neverending Story" in Munich by Brian Johnson and entered the Camera Department as an assistant. Working predominantly in Optical and Visual effects and Motion Control for the next 10 years he learned his lighting skills by working with some of the great Directors of Photography in Television Commercials and Films of the time.

More recently Peter has shot Model Unit, Visual Effects Unit and Second Unit (both filming and Directing) on projects for Television and Feature Films. He has shot on Vistavision, 65mm, 35mm, 16mm, Super 8 and HD.

Peter also builds specialized camera rigs as and when the needs arise, including his own Motion Control rigs (sold on to "The Corpse Bride" production).
