Biography
How I got started...
The world of photography presented itself to me in 1983.
Two years later I started Dale M. Peterson Photography. What an exceptional ride, and nothing can compare to all the challenges and experiences these last twenty-five years have offered. Ya, I'd say I'm looking forward to the next twenty-five.
The greatest gift in photography is having choices. And what I have chosen to do with those choices has helped me stay successful.
In my opinion...
this is the greatest profession there is. I get to work with the most creative and gifted people, travel here and there, and don't do 8 to 5. It's more like 4AM to Midnight, and I love it.
What makes me tick...
Growing up the 9th of 10 kids taught me one vital lesson; to think creatively under pressure. Oh how this has been an asset in the world of photography.
There are gifts that go along with this line of work also, like patience and creativity, and the people I work with.
Yet the greatest high of all is when I have created that "one of a kind on the planet" image. And with each new assignment I seek to create yet another of these images.
