New Zealand born Peter Herbert photographs the world around him in an idiosyncratic, subjective way that combines elements of composition and colour with varying degrees of abstraction.
The subjects vary but whether it is landscape, portrait, documentary reportage or fantasy, the photographers delight with the camera is always evident.
Peter Herbert attended The Wellington School of Design, New Zealand, where he graduated with a Dipolma in Graphic Design.
While working in administration for the NHS Peter Herbert curated over 70 exhibitions in health care locations. These were highly acclaimed and publicised in various magazines including Time Out. During this time he successfully completed the City and Guild Photography Course at the Working Mens College, Kentish Town, London (2003/04). He also attended Birkbeck University of London where he gained a Dipolma in Arts Managment (2006/07).
Peter Herbert is currently the Curator Manager of The Arts Project in which he curates 4 gallery spaces located in inner city health care locations.
