Peter Coulson is the photographer of blacks, deep and intense blacks for a theatrical rendering and a deliciously dramatic tension. The women are placed in abyss, like modern goddesses, their gaze frozen, imperturbable. The style is striking, the decorations are minimalist, even rare. The space formed by her studio, on a white background, is mostly empty, to bring the viewer to focus on the model and on the most important part: the eyes, the very essence of the image. With Peter there is no eroticism or heightened sensuality. The women do not smile, they are pagan beauties, icy, young, virgins with emaciated faces, modern nymphs. Peter, inspired by people, places, objects, events in the world, but above all by light, takes care of the rendering of emotions. Peter Coulson currently resides in Melbourne, Australia, where he was born in 1961. He specializes in beauty, fashion and what he calls fetishized photography. According to him, each of his photos is a mixture of sensuality, strength, mystery and elegance, thoughtful and inspired by his personal reflections and decided concepts. When Peter takes a photo, he looks for negative spaces, shadows, simplicity and the possibility of telling a multitude of stories in a single image. His photography is influenced by artists like Ansel Adams, Patrick Demarchelier, Irving Penn, Peter Lindbergh, or Helmut Newton… Peter tries to capture a story, a movement or an emotion in a unique frame. His great victory: the fascination of the spectator in front of this image, his impossibility to detach himself from it.
