Peter Bennett is the name that springs to most minds when the subject of pigeon photography comes up, and it's not surprising as Peter photographs most of the big-race winners that you see throughout the pigeon year in various publications, not only in the UK but also in Europe and the rest of the world.

Peter began photographing pigeons in the late 1960s. Since those early days Peter's company has grown to international status, not only within the pigeon sport but to a wider area, including all the other usual aspects of photography such as weddings.

Most people think that all that is needed to take pigeon photographs is a 'magic box', but what is really required is a great deal of experience and patience to get a bird to pose in the correct manner to record it as it should be recorded - as a fancier's champion. Peter is very critical of his own work and therefore feels he has a right to be critical of the work of other photographers, some of whom, in his opinion, make very little effort to coax the subjects into the correct pose. Nothing annoys him more than to see a great performance pigeon staring out from the pages of the fancy press on newsagents' shelves, in full view of the general public, looking like a typical streeter.

Born in Darlington, Peter has been taking photographs since he was five years old. He served his time as an apprentice toolmaker, then he visited nearly every country in the world as an engineer in the Navy. He is now visiting many of these countries again to photograph racing pigeons, including most of Europe, Canada, Japan, Thailand, South Africa, the USA, India, and even Egypt. The highlight was when he was invited to Australia by the Blanhaven Stud to photograph their stock birds.

Peter, having been in photography for over 50 years and having photographed top line pigeons for 35 years, offers you a fully guaranteed service against the poor quality service of most of the amateur photographers,which only reduces the value of your stock or insults your birds racing performance.
