Mike Peterson
Freelance Photographer
Hey I'm Mike Peterson, and I'm a Connecticut based published freelance photographer.
I've been behind the lens since 2002, and bought my first camera in 2005. I had always been a car guy, and so I decided to combine both of my passions. With that, I've been professionally photographing automobiles for the past decade, capturing vehicles ranging from fun scooters up to multi-million dollar hypercars.
In an effort to challenge my skills over the years, I have diversified my portfolio to also include products, beverages and real estate.
I've captured nearly a thousand vehicles in all forms from dealership inventories to online auctions to commissioned rolling shoots for magizines. These vehicles have ranged from $1,000 up to $4M. I have held the keys to the very cars that I idolized as a teenager.
In further developing my photography, I dove head-first into studio projects. I've found that working with my own lighting in my home studio has given me a greater understanding of how to properly compose a beautiful image.
With a better grasp of a blend of studio and natural lighting, this played perfectly into my interest in real estate photography. Every home and room tells a story. Not only are they filled with a rich history; They're ready to be someone else's future.
