Peter Li

Der in Hongkong geborene Architekturfotograf Peter Li lebt seit über zwei Jahrzehnten in London und verfügt über mehr als zwölf Jahre Erfahrung hinter der Kamera. Acht davon verbrachte er damit, die Pracht historischer Innenräume einzufangen, wobei sein besonderes Augenmerk Kathedralen gilt.
Cathedrals and historic interiors reveal themselves gradually. Patience and careful observation often lead to the most meaningful photographs.
The tools we use shape the way we approach photography. Moving to the Nikon Z system has shifted the way I work, for the better.
Peter's approach to photography is rooted in a deliberate, additive process. Rather than seeking an immediate image, he assembles individual perspectives into panoramas and vertoramas that no single viewpoint could contain, creating visuals that feel dreamlike while remaining grounded in reality. His goal is to invite the viewer to slow down, look deeper, and rediscover historic spaces not simply as monuments, but as living structures shaped by light, symmetry, and time.
His entry into the Nikon ecosystem began with the Nikon Z 8, marking a significant shift after nearly a decade with a previous system. The move was driven by curiosity and a belief that the tools a photographer chooses genuinely shape how they see and work. Through his collaboration with Nikon in 2023, Peter developed a deeper understanding of the Nikon Z system and found both the team and the technology to be exceptionally supportive of his creative process.
He now uses the Nikon Z 8 and the Nikon Z 6III alongside a selection of NIKKOR Z lenses, including the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S, which brings a rare atmospheric depth to his interior work, and the NIKKOR Z 14–24mm f/2.8 S, which delivers outstanding image quality at the extreme wide angles his compositions demand.
