Photographic artwork and commissions in Grey County
Nine municipalities, and Pete lives in one of them. Photographic artwork and selective commissions by Pete Mather.
Grey County
The place behind the photograph.
Grey County runs from the Georgian Bay shore across the Niagara Escarpment into farmland. The Beaver River cuts through the valley and meets the bay at Thornbury, where Pete is based.
Orchards, weathered farm buildings and escarpment views are subjects for prints and personal commissions. Coverage further toward Owen Sound, Hanover or Durham is planned with travel as part of the scope.
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, which is itself inside this county, so the Beaver Valley and the shore either side of it are home ground, while Owen Sound, Hanover and Durham at the far end are quoted with the drive named.
Commissions and artwork
Two kinds ways to discuss a project with Pete. Each one has its own page for Grey County.

Wooded slopes give way to open agricultural country beyond the valley. Grey County aerial photography considers the setting and season of a farm or other personal commission.
Commercial artwork and photography in Grey County
The bay, escarpment and orchards offer subjects with different colours and moods. Artwork for Grey County businesses helps frame the choice between an existing photograph and a new commission.
Discuss the subject, intended display and timing with Pete. Commission pricing explains how the scope is agreed.
