Peter Mason creates high impact lifestyle photography and film that tells a story. Shooting young and old, real people and models, he is proficient at large overseas productions and small guerrilla-style shoots, as well as everything in between.

"For me, it’s all about captured moments. The stills from the movie. The unscripted moments that make the image believable. When setting up a scene or scenario we create the story and let it run. I don’t ask the models or sitters to pose a picture. Instead they are left to let the scene develop and evolve. Often, the shots we get are not the ones envisaged, but the spontaneous moments caught after they have forgotten the camera is there.”

"Having worked with Pete Mason over the past 15 years, I completely trust in his ability to get the shots required from the trickiest of situations. Pete’s work ethic and dedication to getting the desired results is tremendous; I think the longest day we put in was 20 hours.

His ability to deal with a live, moving product and the general public is fantastic, with the right balance between getting the shot and remaining unobtrusive. ‘Real’ subjects tend to be uncomfortable and self concious, but Pete has a way of relaxing people and bringing the best out of them. I am always extremely pleased with the results we get, and working with Pete is always great fun too." Jo Wilcox.

"Working with kids has its own set of rules! We’ve been working with kids for over 20 years and love the spontaneity and energy they bring to the shoot. You will normally find us running around having just as much fun as they are, allowing them to relax and be themselves. When the kids are relaxed, entertained and energised we create amazing images.

Peter Mason is a lifestyle photographer and director specialising in captured moments, believable, real and emotive.

“I’ve been working with Peter for many years on a variety of projects and clients. On our first commission, a Royal Caribbean project, we undertook an extensive location shoot in the Caribbean and the following year in the Med. The location was a ship, full with paying guests and all with a thirst to maximise their time onboard. This meant working on-the-fly to maintain a healthy relationship with guests, the ship's crew and the client.

Peter’s attitude and commitment for this assignment was spot on. Up at the crack of dawn and still going strong at midnight reviewing the day's work! The biggest challenge was the logistics which he was well versed at. From keeping six models active and motivated to adding much value in negotiating transport, props, licensing for shoots ashore and onboard.

Regardless of location or studio, Peter adds to any shot scenario I throw at him with a keen creative eye. He jumps in with ideas and with his own two feet, having shot all around the world, under seas, from the air, nothing phases him!" Nick Carter @ Positive.

His evocative images always capture the perfect moment to tell the story.

“We’ve worked with Pete for many years on photography and film shoots. We feel his work has a certain magic quality to it - I always really look forward to receiving shots from new shoots and they always exceed our expectations. He’s extremely professional and has a really lovely way with the models and crew. I’d absolutely recommend Pete to anyone (as long as they don’t use him too much when we need him!)” Kate Courtney, Bourne Leisure.

Peter and his team have fun. So when he shoots with models, clients or the public, they have a good time too. They relax, let their guard down and behave naturally. No stiff poses or awkwardness. Just captured moments.

"Pete is an excellent photographer. What attracted me to his work in the first place was its distinctive style and the way he brings pictures to life in a natural way. He has a great skill in taking the idea you have in your head and capturing it, even if it does mean lying down in a busy road! We have worked in some difficult conditions and you can always rely on Pete to suggest ideas which really do work, and only come with his level of experience and creativity.

Pete is always really positive and has a very professional approach to dealing with both models, clients and the general public. He is always calm under pressure, but equally very energetic in his approach which means you always get a fantastic end result. I would recommend Pete very highly and look forward to working with him again soon!”
