Peter Manschot

I was born in Holland, I am a lawyer and a professional self-taught photographer, who spent the last twenty years portraying all kinds of natural landscapes, many of them in Andalusia, Spain, where I live.

During my profesional trajectory I published six books about landscape photography, have had many exhibitions in musea and art galleries and organised numerous photo workshops and journeys, in Spain and other countries.

The central theme in my work is the landscape, I try to capture these ephemeral moments when Nature shows all the essence of its beauty, mistery, strenth, resilience and peace, and the sensations and emotions that these natural places and instances can evoke.
To be able to do so I often remain in the landscapes for a number of days, sleeping outdoors so that I can feel closely connected to the landscape and thus, able to give greater depth to my pictures.

I began as a self taught photographer portraying landscapes as a way of sharing my experiences in the mountains but soon took on photography as a profession leading to the publication of six books and many exhibitions in galleries and museems.
