Peter Holliday is a Scottish-based artist-photographer whose work explores themes relating to the northern environment, remote communities and landscape-based narratives. Sensitive, curious and solitary, his photographs reflect on issues concerning existential, historical and political meanings of place. Much of his work emerges through a bodily engagement with his surroundings, often made during long-distance walks over days and weeks.

In 2024, Peter was nominated for the British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Humanity Award before being named as a finalist of the Paris Photo Prize. In 2025, his work will feature in the Royal Photographic Society’s International Photography Exhibition 166 at Saatchi Gallery.

Having guest lectured at various institutions such as Paris College of Art and Glasgow School of Art, his work is held in several collections including the Finnish Association of Rural Culture & Education, Helsinki University Hospital and Glasgow School of Art's Archives & Collections.

An alumnus of Glasgow School of Art, Peter was invited to present his work at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography in 2015 as a solo exhibition before being shortlisted for the Magnum Photos Graduate Photographers Award 2016. In 2022, Peter earned his MA in Photography from Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture.

In addition to his creative practice, Peter is the host of The Land Behind, a podcast dedicated to exploring the intersection between visual analysis, cultural heritage and environmental discourse.
