Peter Robey is an Australian photographer based in Brisbane. His work has taken him from the most poverty-stricken villages in Nigeria, to a golf cart with the 7th richest man in the United States, from 2.5 km down under the earth to dangling off the skids of a helicopter. Peter is someone who loves his job.
Peter Robey's clients know him as someone who can work in adverse conditions, under pressure, and as someone who thinks laterally. Peter prides himself on these qualities.
