PETER WARRACK

In his early 20's, Peter lived in London, Rome, and Athens working for entertainment magazines and writing articles about events that he attended, like the Cannes Film Festival. It was during this period of time that his interest in photography began to develop. Over the years, Peter began to amass a very extensive collection of photographs of people he met. He attended many events and met many famed individuals of the time. He always took the time to research people before meeting them and was able to talk with them about their careers, their travels and even their families. This impressed them and they felt comfortable in his company; many became personal friends over the years. Their comfort level always translated into the way he captured the personality of those individuals, as he would engage them in easy, friendly conversation while taking candid photos. Photographer Yousuf Karsh became quite friendly with Peter; they spent time going over his portfolio and compared styles for making a subject comfortable in order to capture their essence in a photograph. 

Peter's favorite part of photography was the people. He didn't just collect photographs - he somehow collected the people as well.
