I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.
–Socrates
I don’t really believe I’m the wisest man alive, but I try to approach my work as if I know nothing. I observe and listen more than I talk. I ask questions. I watch how people move. I’m adept at reading emotions, even when they aren’t so apparent on the surface. Empathy is a word that I think a lot about. I try to impart to my 7-year-old twin girls the importance of empathy, to varying degrees of success depending on how hungry they are. There is a lack of empathy in public discourse, more so than ever these days. I aim to counteract that in my interactions with people whether I’ve got a camera in my hand or not.
Whether it’s an intimate setting where it’s just me photographing one person or a large commercial production with a crew of 30 people, it comes down to connecting with people on the most basic human level. My strength as a photographer and director lies in my ability to put people at ease so they let their true self come through. This, in turn, leads to candid, intimate and emotionally revealing moments that propel the story forward.
Based in Boston, my team and I collaborate with creatives all over the world on large and small projects. When I’m not on set or shooting personal work, you’ll likely find me in the woods on my mountain bike creating scars that will last a lifetime, hacking away at my guitar or trying to convince my children that I do know everything as my interior designer wife rolls her eyes.

We need a sense of purpose to get out of bed in the morning and each other to get by. I tell those stories. Why is a huge word for me. What trauma, ghosts, luck, inspiration got you here? I guide real people and pro talent to share a story (some real, some not). If it’s emotionally true, you feel it. We connect. That’s the good stuff.
I’m a former suburban dad who raised two daughters and a few dogs in California. Thrived in the buzzsaw of our house, work, school and elite sports lives. Lost my mom to a long term illness. Lost good people to the politics of divorce. Moved 3000 miles to Manhattan for Michelle: Second Rodeo for us both. My story has high’s and lows and scratched up messy moments by the bucket… probably similar to yours.
My parents and grandparents are from a rural mill town south of Pittsburgh long with stout working people, local dive bars, rusted trucks and church on Sunday. I spent a lot of time there and it formed me. Elementary school, our family moved to Southern California 15 minutes from the beach and all its sun baked possibilites. The blend gave me a dual citizenship of eastern work ethic and blind romantic optimism. Both my parents were simple people. Both my brother and I became artists - we don’t know how that happened.
Play for me is food, a few or more hours on my road bike (Scott Mont on Strava) and a good bookstore. I have a mild obsession with cooking. I know people who eat only to avoid hunger: they’re not my people. I prefer spoons, sometimes eat with my hands and judge you if you don't share :)
Fun Fact: my high school job was selling Cokes/peanuts/hotdogs/malts in the stands at California Angel baseball games. In front of thousands each night we hustled for commission, dealt with drunk fans, flirted with popcorn girls and saw the occasional double play. I never caught a ball.
Thanks for your interest. Production is an odd unicorn of a business. The adrenaline, the obsessive detail, the olympic problem solving skills, the magic. Our industry is worth it all. It’s a gift to do this. I hope to see you on the road soon.

I see myself first and foremost as a storyteller. The difference is, my photographs do the speaking. As a commercial photographer for over 20 years, my passion is composing photographs that speak about the subject powerfully and memorably. I’m especially drawn to locations and backgrounds that complement the subject yet recede just enough to ensure the subject dominates the image.
Since growing up in Houston, Texas and spending many days in and around my father’s printing company, I’ve been drawn to the meticulous details of quality craftsmanship. From those days of operating an offset press at the age of 15, I’ve carried lessons learned there into my photography business. My experiences have built in me a true love of both the technical and artistic sides of my craft. I believe it’s the balance of both that lead to images that resonate and remain with the viewer. In this age of digital media and the constant bombardment of visual clutter, it’s never been more important to craft imagery that speaks in an elegant and unique manner. Whether it’s a single image or a series, I live to create images that tell my client’s story uniquely and unforgettably.
Over my career, my love of photography has taken me throughout the globe. I’ve told the stories—through photographs and books—of sheep farms in New Zealand, a Bourbon maker in Kentucky, the Lobstermen of Little Cranberry Island, Maine and American Craftsmen of all stripes, among others. I live in beautiful Grapevine, Texas, along with my wife Rebecca and our two children, Noah and Annalise.

Peter Rodger grew up looking through a camera lens. As a teenager, the award-winning British director and photographer honed his skills by assisting his father, George Rodger, the renowned photojournalist and co-founder of Magnum Photos. After completing his education at England’s Maidstone College of Art, his skill with the lens has made him one of the most sought-after talents in both the European and United States advertising markets.
Peter has shot print and commercial campaigns in over sixty-three countries, for such diverse clients as Mercedes, Save the Children Fund, City National Bank, Coca-Cola, Toyota, Microsoft, Infiniti, Lexus, Buick, Acura, Honda, Volvo, Land Rover, Fendi, Xavier Laurent Perfume, Apple Computers, University of Houston, Kodak, Freixenet Champagne, General Electric, Audi, Ecolab, Nalco, Gazprom, Ford, Canon Cameras, Marriott Hotels, Adventist Health, Chloé, Allscripts, Morocco Tourism, Mohammed V Foundation, HCA Healthcare, Medicare as well as many others.
Peter has developed a deeply visual style of shooting that has become increasingly popular—visceral cinematic imagery capturing the soul of subjects in a non-contrived, yet observational way that makes his images epic to watch but at the same time engaging with a natural, energetic execution.
His ever-evolving style has yielded over thirty-five awards as best director from The Houston International Film Festival, Chicago International Film Festival, The Telly Awards, The Mobius Awards and the US International Film and Video Festival.
In 2012, Peter collaborated with Gary Ross as second unit director on the motion picture blockbuster “The Hunger Games,” creating the propaganda film for the fictional “Capitol” in the story.
