Julian Peters

About

My name is Julian Peters and in short, I don't have a photography degree. My degree was in music (majoring in cello) through my 20s the cello and the guitar were my main source of income. In the end of my 20s I moved to Japan to teach English for a year. I loved the life and like a whim that got out of control I stayed there for my 30s. It was in Japan where my love of photography really took off. I was head of an English dept in a high school during the day and I really enjoyed the work. I invested in the canon system at first and continued to learn as much as I could about photography and the adobe suites. Apart from the teaching, which kept my visa secure, I spent all my time taking photos and playing with my band at festivals and events. I invested a little in a home photo studio set up and kept learning as much as I could from online sources. About two years ago I switched from Canon to Fujifilm and although occasionally missing full frame, I really enjoy these cameras. Currently using the X-T2 most of the time. That is the brief version. There are of course many details I am more than happy to talk about too. I am happy to be an open book. I am now back in the UK and am starting an Event/Portrait photography business. I feel that I need to learn "properly" though and would relish the chance to be in a real fully equipped studio learning from someone with real experience as a professional in photography. I am flexible and reliable and have been told I have great inter-personal skills and communication. Basically, I really want to learn hands-on and also be of help to someone in the process. I am now in my early 40s, so no longer a youth, I am as fresh as ever though and ready to throw myself into something new. Please have a look at my website and if you think you could help me or I could help you then don't hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards Julian Peters
