Peter Meyer

to the home page

Born in the early 1960s in the German Rhineland, where he still lives, Peter Meyer is a portrait and nude photographer with a strong preference for black and white images. He discovered his passion for photography during his school days in a darkroom club. A classmate who had bought a single lens reflex camera sparked Peter's interest in the hobby, which at the time had something mystical about it, and perhaps for that very reason was so fascinating.

Peter began taking photographs with his own SLR camera and learnt the art of analogue negative and positive development while still at school. Visiting various exhibitions at Photokina in Cologne intensified his fascination with black and white photography. He was particularly impressed by the work of great photographers such as Ansel Adams, whose image 'Moonrise, Hernandez' overwhelmed and inspired him.

Although Peter was initially very versatile in his choice of subjects and covered a wide range of topics, his hobby had to take a back seat to his profession for a while. Shortly after the turn of the millennium, he discovered the possibility of printing images in specialist magazines, which led him back to photography. Peter attended various workshops and began to digitise and print his old negatives.

Since buying his first digital camera in 2010, he has taken his hobby more seriously. He prefers to work with people, which is why he specialises in portrait and nude photography. Peter appreciates black and white photography for its pure aesthetics. The absence of colour allows a clear focus on the essentials and gives the images a melancholic atmosphere, similar to a good old black and white film with appropriate jazz music.

His fascination with portrait and nude photography lies in the diversity and uniqueness of human faces and bodies. Portraying people naked, but in a dignified and aesthetic way, is the greatest artistic challenge for this sensitive photographer.

10Photos says: Peter's work is characterised by high technical quality and the ability to evoke deep emotion. His black and white photography creates timeless, elegant images that captivate the viewer. It is the clean lines and reduction to the essential that inspire. But in his authentic portraits and sensual nudes, we also discover fine details that captivate us. We are particularly impressed by the atmospheric aura that Peter's photographs convey.
