2. THE PHOTOGR APHER
Peter Lik is one of the world’s most innovative, prolific and
awarded landscape photographers. His passion, dedication and
love for his art is unsurpassed, making him the recognized leader
in his field.
Born in Melbourne Australia, the only son of Czech immigrant
parents, Peter is completely self taught. His talent for photography
was evident from an early age when he first picked up a camera
at the age of eight, and has retained a spirit and enthusiasm
equaled only by his unbounded energy and deep affinity for
the land. It was while traveling in Alaska in 1994 that Peter’s
fascination with photography took a dramatic turn when he
discovered the encompassing view of the panoramic camera. It
opened up a whole new world of creative possibilities and took
his photography to new levels.
“My photography is about the challenge of translating the
awesome power and beauty of the earth into a tangible record
of a moment in time. In my images I strive to convey the elements
of nature that most inspire me – her strength and her fragility. I
listen to the land and through color and composition I explore the
familiar form and look for the picture within. My deep connection
with the heart and soul of the landscape is what drives me on and
keeps me searching for that indefinable ‘perfect’ image.”
3. THE ADVENTURE
Peter has been traveling to the ends of the earth, weathering all
types of climates, in a quest to find nature’s most exquisite terrains
to photograph. Equipped with his Earth Roamer Xpedition,
camera and tripod, Peter is determined to obtain that perfect
image of Mother Nature at her best. From Australia’s sweltering
rainforests to the dry desert landscapes of southwest America,
from waist-deep snow in the freezing weather of Alaska to the
145-degree heat in Nevada’s Death Valley, Peter has survived
everything earth has thrown at him.
Peter’s never-ending search for beauty and tranquility within
nature’s palette keeps collectors of his work in a state of
anticipation as he releases several new images each year.
