Peter Mendelson

Peter Mendelson (b. 1967)

Peter Mendelson is a Connecticut-based fine art photographer.
 
Peter’s work reveals an almost anthropological fascination with the evolving relationship between people and the environments they shape. With a refined sensitivity to the emotional resonance of color and form, his photography captures the layered imprint of culture, time, and transformation in both urban and coastal landscapes. Yet beyond documentation, his images often tap into a shared visual memory—evoking collective experiences and a sense of nostalgia that connects viewers across generations and geographies. In addition, 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.
 
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.
