Testimonials
“I think I totally underestimated how much patience goes in to taking photographs as spectacular as Pete’s. Not only on location, but dealing with us agency folk and clients. Pete’s patience shone through at every stage, from providing artistic and technical advice at the concept stage to making careful selects that fit our brief perfectly, as well as dealing with occasional unrealistic demands. However, it was on the shoot that really impressed me – taking the time to get everything just right for that single, perfect, split-second, almost impossible opportunity. Which he always got. Thanks Pete.”
Neil Shanlin. Art Director. Dentsu London.
"Pete has a classicist's eye and a thoroughly modern, collaborative way of working, so it is unsurprising that his work continues to become more and more beautiful."
Mark Ringer. Executive Creative Director TBWA/TEQUILA Hong Kong
"I loved working with Pete. Before he shot our VW campaign I hadn't worked with him but he was everything I hoped and expected him to be – calm, assured, immensely knowledgeable and he did a brilliant job."
Sarah Thomson. Art Buyer DDB London.
"I have been privileged to work with Pete Seaward on several occasions for images to support new marketing campaigns for our award-winning resort. Pete did not just deliver what we required; he exceeded expectations through his professional approach, positive attitude and passion for his work. Aside from the set-up shots we asked of him, Pete's sharp eye and decades of experience enabled him to capture spontaneous frames that would elude any but the best photographers, and many of these became unexpected highlights of our campaign. Photography is more than just being able to operate a camera, and Pete Seaward is a photographer of the highest caliber, with a sensitive eye and emotional depth to his work. I would not hesitate to recommend him for tourism and landscape commissions."
Marian Hinchcliffe. Director of Public Relations and Marketing. Ayana Resort Bali.
"We are proud to be able to regularly commission Pete, who delivers a standard of beautiful, inspiring portraiture and landscape photography that has helped Lonely Planet Magazine become the UK’s best-selling travel magazine. He has been responsible for creating some of our most memorable cover shots and features shoots, and his skill, experience and energy have frequently come to bear in the most trying of circumstances, whether capturing the Glacier Express crossing a viaduct in the Swiss Alps, a boat paddling through mist behind the Taj Mahal, or a spectacular view of Australia’s Twelve (now actually eight) Apostles at first light."
Peter Grunert. Editor of Lonely Planet Magazine. BBC Publications.
"What's great about Pete is that he's always up for a challenge what ever the brief. From wading in the polluted waters of the Yamuna river in India to photograph the Taj Mahal, to scaling mountains in Switzerland to seek out the best landscapes. Pete makes a huge amount of effort to get the job done and delivers the most amazing pictures every time."
Hayley Ward Art Director Lonely Planet magazine.
Pete is an extremely patient and detailed photographer who prepares his shoots like engineers prepare an aircraft. He's a total pro who's making the most of his time to capture the best shots possible in the most efficient manner. He's also a real gentleman who appreciates life.
Thierry Halbroth. Executive Creative Director. McCann Erickson Hong Kong.
"What can I say about Pete Seaward that hasn't already been said? Having worked with him for almost 20 years, he has proved over and over again that he is a consummate professional who has an unerring passion for his love of photography and all things visual. Throw any layout at him and he will solve any problems quickly and efficiently, produce the highest quality image possible and almost more importantly in this day and age, stick to budget. An art buyer's dream. I would not hesitate to commission him over and over again should suitable jobs come up.
