Peter Jeffery is a master's level fine arts student with an emphasis on photography. He is investigating the processes by which spaces become either places or non-places. Additionally, he is investigating how composition, lighting, and colour manipulation influence viewers' emotions. He draws inspiration from filmmaker Roger Deakins, neurologist Sigmund Freud, anthropologist Marc Augé and philosopher Michel Foucault as well as several photographers. Peter creates large-format archival Giclée prints at his Dalmeny studio, where he also experiments with alternative, historical printing techniques such as cyanotypes and anthotypes.
