Pete Webb

London: Pete Webb  

With photographic origins back in the surf and mountain sports industries, Pete Webb's style comes from those origins where it was important to capture the sport, the people, the places and the clothes. He is always in amongst the action; if it is a water sport he is in the water, up a mountain then his team climbs too: this is where the authenticity comes from.

Currently he has a list of athletes which he needs to shoot before the Olympics for a variety of clients. He has grouped these into a blog post called 'Olympians' where he will put all the finished images.

Regular clients include Berghaus, Men's Fitness magazine, Canon cameras, WWF, Bahamas Tourist Office, Paradiski and Morvelo.

The past few months have seen Pete Webb working in some of the most stunning mountain ranges in the world. Intrepid Adventures from Australia took him to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, while he introduced Berghaus to the Picos de Europa of Northern Spain. The infamous ash cloud enforced a longer stay - and further mountain climbing.

Editorial work has included Olympic diving for FHM, Sony Ericsson BMX riders for Flipside, and his most recent trip to the Le Mans 24-hour race for a motor association.

Pete Webb presents his new website, produced off the back of two new portfolios.

Both feature lifestyle, but one is centred around sport and the other around travel, or "adventures", as the photographer likes to call them.

The portfolios show how Pete crosses the genres and how his distinctive style of lifestyle photography is transferred to the worlds of sport, travel, surf/ski wear catalogues, fashion and beauty. The landscapes captured along the way help to reinforce the story and put the work into perspective.

Pete Webb spent his early photographic years shooting surf sports, and when Burton produced their first snowboard he added snow sports to his repertoire. What was already in place was a love of the great outdoors and today he has participated in a great range of adventure sports all over the world. This unique background in sport, travel and lifestyle is what sets him apart. Having an understanding with athletes allows him to be in their club, and knowing great locations around the globe really brings a lifestyle production to life.

Being dropped on a steep mountainside by helicopter, surrounded by sharks underwater, the latest supermodel... all scary stuff, but it is what makes the photographer tick.

All of this came before years of experience shooting ad campaigns, clothing catalogues, sporting events and editorial stories. This last year has seen the BahamasTourist office create images with him once again, Aigle Asia take advantage of his knowledge of the great outdoors in Slovenia where he shot for two days in a snow storm, and Sebago Shoes and Apparel produce a riveting lifestyle catalogue.

With clients as diverse as Kaleidoscope, Debenhams, Ford Motor Company, Max Factor, Quicksilver, Fat Face, Billabong and First Choice, it is obvious that Pete's work is open to any genre.
