Decent Essays
I chose to do Peter Lik to be my photographer because I think he does exceptional work in taking landscape and nature photographs. My favorite pictures are outdoors ones and I feel I can kinda relate since that’s what I enjoy doing most. Peter Lik was born in 1959 in Melbourne, Australia. He is not yet deceased, but the date of his birth is unknown. He is very well known because he has several galleries open and has traveled tons of places and gets to know them and writes books about where he has been, he is good at getting his name out there.
When he turned 8 he got his very first camera from his parents. He got a Kodak Brownie box camera, he took pictures of a spider web in his house and when he got older he takes pictures of country scenes
