Peter Evans
Peter Evans was born on Merseyside and schooled in Durban and the Drakensberg. After seven years at the University of Birmingham and the acquisition of a PhD, he spent his working life in the north-east of England, where he still lives.
He joined the NPP in the 1950's, producing B&W prints and was one of the earliest natural history photographers to take colour transparencies seriously. 6x6 Agfacolour slides were exhibited widely and earned a medal from the Photographic Society of America. He left the NPP for ten years to concentrate on cine and re-joined in the mid '70s. He is a Fellow of the Royal photographic Society.
Most of his work nowadays is done overseas. He rates South Africa the most rewarding area, but has spent time in most parts of Africa and Australia as well as India and South America. His book "Where and How to Photograph Wildlife", published by GMC, is based on this experience.
