Peter Peryer (1941 - 2018) exhibied selected work on a regular basis with Melanie Roger Gallery. He had a degree in English and a Masters in Education. It was not until his 30’s that he took up photography which for many years now has been his sole occupation. In 1998 he had a major exhibition and publication in Germany called Second Nature. This exhibition toured in Germany and Australia. Peter Peryer has been the recipient of several awards. He has an ONZM for his contribution to photography in this country and he has been a Fulbright Scholar, a grant that enabled him to continue studying his medium in the United States. In 2007 Peryer was awarded the William Hodges Fellowship which enabled him to live in Invercargill for 4 months, resulting in an exhibition of 31 images from that period at the Southland Museum & Art Gallery in early 2008. His works are widely collected and are held in all major New Zealand Institutions, and internationally, including the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and the Australian National Gallery in Canberra. In 2000 he was awarded the prestigious Arts Foundation Laureate Award.
