Peter Holliday is a Scottish-based photographer whose work explores themes relating to the northern environment, remote communities and place-based narratives. Sensitive, curious and solitary, his photographs reflect on questions concerning historical and cultural understandings of landscape.
In 2024, Peter was nominated for the British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Humanity Award before being named as a finalist of the Paris Photo Prize. In 2025, his work will be exhibited at Saatchi Gallery as part of the Royal Photographic Society’s International Photography Exhibition 166.
Having guest lectured at various institutions including Paris College of Art and Glasgow School of Art, his work is held in several collections including Helsinki University Hospital and Glasgow School of Art's Archives & Collections.
In addition to his creative practice, Peter is also the host of The Land Behind, a podcast dedicated to exploring the intersection between visual analysis, cultural heritage and environmental discourse.
An alumnus of Glasgow School of Art, Peter was invited to present his work at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography in 2015 before being shortlisted for the Magnum Photos Graduate Photographers Award 2016. In 2022, Peter earned his MA in Photography from Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture.
