“Mother Nature sets the scene, I simply capture it.”Peter Lik

Page 2: Peter Lik Press Kit[1]

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.”

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.

A truly great photograph has the power to capture your attention

and evoke intense emotions. When fine art is fused with the

perfect frame, it creates a harmonious union. Needless to say

the frame that can unite art and design in such a way must be

beautiful, made of the finest materials available and created by

the best artisans in the world. so naturally when Peter Lik began

his quest to find the perfect frame to compliment the Peter Lik

Collection of Fine Art he looked to Roma Moulding, the leading

manufacturer of high quality Italian picture frame moulding and

Italy’s largest moulding manufacturer.

Each image is individually examined for errors before being

framed by a trained staff utilizing the most advanced techniques

and equipment. Every aspect of the pristine, dust-free

environment is dedicated to preserving the life of the image by

using a system known as “High Quality Conservation Framing.”

the photograph is cold-mounted onto a Lexan panel using the

ultimate in mounting technology. All materials used in the studio

are acid-free to protect the integrity of the photographic surface.

strict procedures are in place to ensure the finished framed

image complies with Peter’s exacting standards.

As well as offering traditional and contemporary framing through

the galleries, unique timbers are sourced from Italy and styled by

Peter and his creative team. the studio also imports the exclusive

custom-designed “teak slatted” frames from Indonesia. once

completed, the framed images are carefully packed, fully insured

and shipped to Peter’s clients all over the world.
