Bill's images invite us to deeply engage with our surroundings and simply observe. He encourages viewers to share in the profound emotional connection he feels for each scene, fostering greater awareness of the visual landscapes we encounter daily. His work challenges us to recognize our roles, whether small or significant, as co-creators of the spaces we inhabit and traverse.

The digital approach suited Bill Peters’ aerial views of San Francisco Bay salt ponds, sloughs, and wetlands in the period 2009-2019. Rapid, intuitive selections of colour and composition, while in the air, are the basis for detailed choices and manipulations in studio. The resulting photographs contain bold colour and abstracted form with unanticipated details.
