Photographic artwork and commissions in Clarksburg
Arts village minutes from the Thornbury harbour. Photographic artwork and selective commissions by Pete Mather.
Clarksburg
The place behind the photograph.
Clarksburg sits on the Beaver River just upstream from Thornbury. Galleries and studios line the small village main street, with the Beaver Valley opening behind it.
Village buildings, riverside trees and valley farms invite different kinds of photographs. A personal commission can centre on a familiar house or stretch of land without losing the setting around it.
Pete is accredited member, professional photographers of canada (ppoc), holds the Master of Photographic Arts (MPA) designation, flies on a Transport Canada Basic Operations Pilot Certificate (RPAS), and carries $1,000,000 in liability insurance. He works out of Thornbury, with Clarksburg within his regional coverage.

A small wall in a studio may need a different photograph from a larger hospitality space. Clarksburg commercial artwork begins with the room and the subject, including regional work already available.

Downstream the same river reaches Thornbury's harbour photographic subjects; uphill it is chalet and resort photography in The Blue Mountains, and west along the bay, property photography in Meaford. Follow the valley the other way, south past Kimberley and Eugenia, and it opens into the rest of Grey County, which is farm country long before it runs out.
