History

Peter Holliday is a Nordic-based photographer recognised for his northerly landscapes and Arctic views. With a concern for the lands and waters to which human life is fated, Peter’s boreal scenes explore the multivalences of place, situating motifs of journeying, co-existence and being at home.

Upon graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 2015, Peter was invited to exhibit his work at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography before being nominated for the Magnum Photos Graduate Photographers Award 2016. In 2018 he was granted a commission with the British Journal of Photography to document the edges of the Danish capital.

In 2022 Peter earned his MA in Photography from Aalto University in Helsinki. During the same summer, he was an artist-in-residence aboard The Arctic Circle expeditionary residency program in Svalbard. He then walked alone through Swedish and Norwegian Lapland to gather pictures for his series A Path in the Snow.

Having been exhibited internationally, Peter is also known for his commissions. With clients such as the BBC, British Airways, COS, Vice and VisitCopenhagen, his work has been published in the British Journal of Photography, the Financial Times and Wired.
