Peter Mendelson (b. 1967) Peter Mendelson is a Connecticut-based fine art photographer.   After growing up on Long Island, New York, Peter studied history at the University of Virginia before getting his law degree at the University of Pennsylvania. He then moved to New York City, where he discovered his passion for photography. Over time, his work evolved into a distinctive visual language, influenced by masters such as Walker Evans, Andreas Gursky, Robert Polidori, and Harry Gruyaert. He further refined his artistic vision through workshops with renowned photographers, including Todd Hido, Magnum photographers Alex Webb and Matt Black, and NYC street photographer Phil Penman. In 2023, Peter left his legal career to fully devote himself to fine art photography.   Peter’s work reflects an anthropologist’s curiosity about modern leisure and the evolving relationship between people and their environments. With a keen eye for architectural detail and a deep connection to the New England coastline, his photography captures the imprint of culture, time, and transformation in both urban and coastal landscapes. An extended childhood stay in Italy introduced him to the classical principles of composition and the rhythms of Italian life—an influence that continues to shape his artistic vision. He has since returned to the country on several occasions, further deepening his photographic exploration of place and experience.   Peter’s award-winning work has been exhibited in galleries across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. His fine art prints are held in both private and professional collections, and his photography has been featured in a variety of publications spanning art, design, travel, and style.
