Peter Baiamonte wants each of his images to tell a story. He hopes to give the viewer a glimpse of a place; or reveal an individual's personality, and take the viewer into that person's world.

A native New Yorker, Peter Baiamonte has worked in the photo industry since the mid-90s, accumulating many years of crew work before moving into his own projects. He has recently begun to revisit the world of his earlier years, by exploring film—using film cameras in his portraiture, and experimenting with multiple exposures on film. He is also creating some new work using a vintage Widelux film camera.

Peter’s work covers many styles and disciplines—including portraiture, lifestyle, landscape, travel, and sports. He splits his time between New York City and the Massachusetts Berkshires, working regularly with clients in New York and Boston as well as the entirety of New England. He is available to travel worldwide.

The photos in this Spotlight include: portraits—Czech performer Tomas Kubinek (shot using the Widelux); Karen Allen (for the cover of Berkshire Magazine); writer and film director Sarah T. Schwab. Places—photos in locations from Antarctica, to the Azores and Venice. In addition, the publicity art for the film A Stage of Twilight, starring Karen Allen and William Sadler, is included, which features one of Peter's photos.
