Petey is California born, New York raised, and currently located in Honolulu, Hawaii. He first found his love for photography while working as a photo assistant for Annie Leibovitz. Over time he honed his own artistic craft while earning a bachelor’s degree from Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Following university, he went on to shoot for major international modeling agencies, New York based clothing brands, album covers, and had his work in a campaign that was featured during New York Fashion Week. Inspired by his time working at Christie’s Auction House, he now spends much of his energy in the fine art world of photography, capturing the delicate interplay of human made structures and the natural world. He still continues to shoot commercial work, and maintains his passion for portrait photography.
