Born in New York City, Peter Buckingham moved there permanently following high school. It was growing up exposed to pop art and ultimately seeing Richard Phillips' "Shaking" at the Whitney Museum in 1997 that Peter knew he wanted to create and capture the intrinsic connection between beauty and power through his own work. In photography, Peter found the perfect outlet to explore the strength and influence of beauty as well as fashion. It soon became his passion to capture the larger-than-life feeling of modern art in all his photographs. As the son of an internationally acclaimed opera singer and a New York City dancer, Peter learned to appreciate the creative arts and value perfectionism as a child. This influence can be seen in his work, through his meticulous use of color and space as well as his keen sense of light and shadow.

Peter Buckingham is currently based in New York City.
