Peter Lik

Peter is the man!

Peter Lik and mike are such amazing people!!! They were so friendly and just so humble about showing us their studio. They invited us to see their studio and show us how the process is done at their shop.
The route to the studio was quite an adventure, and surely one to miss if you don’t know your way around the southwest area. Thankfully, Mike the VP navigated us through the various deadends we hit.
We met at the front of the enterance which was only opened by the secretary how buzzes us in, and only by appointment. We were met and invited by cheerful and happy welcomes from Peter Lik himself and Mike.
Now, I’m a person who is all about experiences, and an experience like this is a once in a lifetime experience that someone will honorably tell for years to come. I mean, seriously, how many people do YOU know gets invited to the studio and is toured around the shop by the AWARD WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER HIMSELF!!!
Being a great fan and seeing him as an inspiring photographer I awe strucken to have gotten the priviledge to tour the shop. Peter showed us the process it goes through and the various rooms. It had the editing room, the exposure room, the framing room, and Peter’s room which consisted of all his camera’s and his negatives from when he first started as a phographer.
He was so comical that he even let me wear his hat. :)
Peter explained the printing, photography, editing, marketing, and project processes with so much detail and enthusiasm at that. It was just such a great experience to just hear it from the man himself.
needless to say, we intended to leave empty handed and the experience was just more than enough for me, but Peter just HAD to topthe icing on the cake and bid us goodbye with a signed copy of his sample book and a picture tablet to hang!
PETER and MIKE! You will be seeing more of me I promise! We must have coffee again!!!
