Peter Masters is a Newcastle and Port Stephens based photographer. He has been involved in art photography for more than 25 years and while he has built a reputation as a conceptual portrait photographer, his strength and his passion revolve around fine art.
Peter has exhibited in Sydney, Newcastle and Byron Bay with a focus on the ocean as a constant theme. With titles such as “Saltwater”, “Flow” and “The Zen of the Sea,” his exhibitions have been successful and popular.
Peter has won awards for his photography, most notably in the USA for his black and white work. Recently he has returned to his boyhood roots in Newcastle and Port Stephens where he feels he is rediscovering the passionate connection that locals feel for their region, the ocean, the harbour and the iconic ocean baths. His recent exhibitions have explored that landscape and what it means to be a Novocastrian.
Photography for me is my way of exploring not only the world around me but also what it means to make art. I want to experience my own creative journey through this medium.

“I am focused on building my reputation as an art photographer. All of my energy is going into exhibitions, gallery sales and exploring what I hope is a unique style. In the past seven years I have been lucky enough to mount nine exhibitions and I have been able to count each one of them as successful in both commercial terms and in fulfilling my own artistic goals and vision.
Since my boyhood I have been drawn to the sea and every spare moment was spent exploring the local coastline. I still gravitate to these iconic places and much of my photography reflects my love for the ocean and its rhythms and spirit.
