Peter Bennett

Teaches at Los Angeles Center of Photography

Peter Bennett (www.greenstockphotos.com) is the owner of Ambient images, a photo and stock agency specializing in New York, California and environmental images, and has been shooting commercially for over twenty-five years. He has survived by adapting to changing markets and constantly seeking out new and timely subjects to shoot. Peter has been working digitally since 1992, setting up his first photo website shortly thereafter, and has spent many years consulting individuals and agencies in digital imaging and workflow. “My camera has always allowed me to enter places and worlds I would never have found otherwise. I once heard David Burnett, the famous photojournalist, say that photographers get to parachute in and out of other people’s lives. I always thought that was a great way of describing what we do.” Peter’s books include: New York City: A Photographic Portrait, Our San Diego and Only in Los Angeles.
