Biografia
They are undeniably photos, and yet the work of Peter Day might be said to be almost non-photographic. The subject is not important, only the intrinsic value of the image. He thereby reduces his models to a form, line, concept or theme. Instead of obvious snapshots, this results in picturesque contours that tell Day’s own colourful story.
Peter Day’s photography has its foundations in traditional photography. Despite the new technical possibilities that have evolved in recent years, his artistic principles have remained the same. By seeking out the boundaries of photographic procedures, he goes beyond classical, recognisable photography.
