Photographic artwork and commissions in Thornbury
Harbour, orchards, and the Beaver River valley. Photographic artwork and selective commissions by Pete Mather.
Thornbury
The place behind the photograph.
Thornbury sits where the Beaver River meets Georgian Bay. The harbour and fish ladder give way to apple orchards climbing the valley behind the village.
An orchard in blossom, evening light on the harbour or a familiar stretch of river can be the subject of a print or a personal commission. Pete works from Thornbury and photographs the surrounding shore and valley.
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 Thornbury within his regional coverage.

Also covering the towns next door.
One trip usually covers more than one town: photography in Clarksburg five minutes upstream, aerial work across The Blue Mountains starting at the town line, and photographic subjects in Meaford twenty minutes west along the shore. All three sit in the same county as this village, and the rest of Grey County reaches a long way south and west of them.
