Enjoying some peacefulness at The Golden Temple, Punjab, India.
Welcome to my photography blog. (updated October 2014)
As well as for my personal interest, the purpose of my photography is:
“To prominently exhibit and publish my work to bring about a real change in the lives of people that I photograph”.
My recent London Exhibition, “India’s Forgotten Children”, bought a small group of dusty street children from the Indian city of Hyderabad, to life in the heart of London at St Martin-In-The-Fields. Visitors from across the world looked into the eyes of the most disadvantaged and were able to connect with them by donating to the charity Hyderapals India Educational Trust.
If you are interested in any of my photographs, please feel free to contact me at either:

Thanks for your visit,
Peter.
Photographs By Peter Knight 
Very nice photos! Keep on posting.
Many thanks for your comment, its much appreciated! :)
HI Peter, I was wondering if I could ask, where in the world are you?
Of course you could, I’m in London (but I often wish I was elsewhere!! :)
Thanks, I know the feeling, I am always wishing I was somewhere else, haha :)
Great blog and images!!!
Many thanks for the comment and for visiting!
Nice blog, a lot of striking images.
Thank you very much for having a look around it!
Mmm. Wonderful, inspiring work.
Thanks Willie I’m grateful that you like these pictures!! :)
Really wonderful photos and great technique. :)
Many thanks!! :)
Hey Pete!
I nominate you for the Liebster Blog Award: http://yourdailydoseblog.com/you-love-me-you-really-love-me/
No pressure to follow through on the rules, I just wanted to alert my readers to your awesome blog! :)
Janice
Janice so many thanks to you, not only for this but also for showing me so much kindness and friendship generally over the last three months or so since I made this blog! You are a lovely person and, despite a 3000 mile gap, a lovely friend too!! :)
Aww, thanks Pete! :D
You make it easy being nice to you hehe =P
Hi Peter, thanks for stoping by my blog and introducing me to yours! I absolutely LOVE your photos of India. They are truly stunning and capture the heart of the places and people you photograph! You are very talented sir :)
Jenny thanks so much for your lovely comment! It’s greatly appreciated! :) unfortunately there was a particular purpose to this recent trip that didn’t really include photography but I’m very excited to be going back quite soon with just myself and a camera!
I looked at your gravitar profile and I think my next visit might be of particular interest to you bearing in mind what you do!
I hope you don’t mind if I keep you posted about that?
Once again, I really appreciate your thoughts! :)
I would love for you to keep me updated!! I love pretty much anything to do with film, photography and travel so please do keep me posted :) Out of all the places I have traveled to (which I don’t even scratch the surface on my blog) India & Nepal found a special spot in my heart to reside in. Just really beautiful places and peoples. I really want to make it back there soon.
I agree with you Jenny. I haven’t been to Nepal (it’s on my to do list for sure) but in India I have found such beauty and resilience in the places of greatest hardship. Seeing the magic in the eyes of people with truly difficult lives is humbling, particularly since in much richer places around the world I see so much dissatisfaction in people with huge comparative wealth and opportunity.
One lesson I learned on my recent visit though – it’s tooooo hot in August!!!
Hi Peter, I found you through Tricia A. Mitchell’s blog. Your images are beautiful, and I love how you capture the mood in your photographs. Glad to connect, and I look forward to seeing more:) Cheers!
Thanks so much for such a nice comment on my blog! Im glad you can feel something from my pictures – hearing that inspires me to keep posting stuff! :)
Glad to connect too! ;)
Wow. Just wow… Very powerful and inspiring.
Thank you Miwako! Having just read your work I shall definitely take that as a big compliment! Look forward to reading more!

Thank you, Peter. :) I can’t wait to see what you’ll capture!
Great photos.
Cheers Barry – glad that you like them! :)
Wonderful blog….happy that I found your blog :)
Thanks for sharing
Hi Sunny, happy that you found it! I appreciate your comment :)
Its a delight to see the pictures on your blog! I sat in front of my laptop today with some frustration running at the back of my mind. Now as I went through these pictures and the wordings associated with them, it feels like m mind is clear now :)
Pratibha thank you so much its really nice that you enjoyed the pictures and words. Glad you had a look around my blog! :)
I absolutely adore your work. Such a soulful blog, Mr. Peter :)
Tina thank you so much, its really nice of you to say and much appreciated :)
A very inspirational blogger award nomination for you Peter. Love your work and just wanted to share it with others… :)
Roo, many thanks for including me in your list! Its really nice of you to think of me! :)
Its hard to not leave a note every time I come back to see your latest clicks, You know?! Today, just anybody with a DSLR calls himself a photographer. And most of their pics are good enough to be viewed….but very few pictures have emotions hidden in them…Very few pictures speak to the viewer…Your pictures belong to that category :)
Thank you so much for leaving a note; its very much appreciated and makes my posts on this blog so worthwhile. I am really pleased that you can find these things in my pictures :) Its a huge compliment.
I really love the whole process of making pictures; from finding a subject, getting the shot I want and all the way through editing (and now printing much more these days too) They won’t ever mean something to everybody but its lovely when they do, even if its just one person :) Thanks again!
Oh I totally get what you are saying. My dad was a photographer by hobby during the 1960s. He had a small dark room where he used to develop photos as well. Even today he owns a number of manual cameras , that so look like antiques today :)
So. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for looking :) and thanks for such a lovely comment! :)
Congratulations! I have nominated your beautiful blog for the Versatile Blogger award. Check out http://www.shakespearesgal.wordpress.com for all the details. … Be well, Dorothy :-)
Thank you Dorothy so much for thinking of me! :)
So you have been to Punjab too! My state :)
Loved the pic at Golden Temple!
I have indeed! This pictures was from a couple of years ago. I have some friends in Amritsar and I always make sure to go to the Golden Temple when possible. There is a peaceful and magical atmosphere there that I love especially in the evenings when its not too busy.
I have yet to go to Chandigarh but I hear its a really nice city.
yeah, Chandigarh is called the city beautiful!
Your photography is superb, Peter, and the portraits are striking. I am enjoying my visit here. :-)
George thanks so much I greatly appreciate the compliment; thanks for looking! :)
Love your pictures!
Thanks Uday :)
Thanks for following Storyteller. Nice work here. — Ray
Thanks Ray, its a pleasure.
Hi Peter, I do hope you are well and I just wanted to let you know I have tried to open your latest post on the Hindu ceremony from my email to the link on your blog and the error 404 pops up on your blog. Has this post been removed? I hope it is nothing too drastic. In the meantime it is always great to visit your other posts. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. kind regards, James
Hey James thanks for letting me know. Actually I removed that post after about a day. I was feeling really strange about it because the lavishness of the occasion (here in London) was in such stark contrast to my recent posts from India that, in a weird kind of way, it felt disrespectful to those brilliant untouchable kids from Hyderabad.
I opened up my safe yesterday and recovered two 4GB cf cards still full of pictures from that last trip (I have been really busy here) I’ll feel a lot happier posting some of them soon!
Hopefully we’ll all have a nice weekend if the lovely sunshine stays around!??!?
You are more thank welcome Peter and I can empathise with you regarding the contrasts in the work in London and those images from India. I look forward to the next postings….
Love your work. You certainly have talent!
Thank you Dr! I love your work too; the NHS needs you! :)
Photography crosses so many boundaries, images can touch so many, and a photograph can start a revolution in the minds of the viewers… the power/force of the lens…( use it for good, Skywalker) :-) xx
:)
your photographs are wonderful, i’m looking forward to see more :)
Hi Evi and many thanks :)
Hi Peter, as you will have seen, I love India too. Your inspiring images encourage me to visit the north again as recent visits have been to central and south India. I have enjoyed looking at your other fine photos as well…..the variety makes for a fascinating blog…..am now a follower. Keep up the great work, regards, John.
John thanks very much indeed; I’m glad you like my blog as I really enjoyed looking through yours!
I hope you get back to India soon :) Looking forward to seeing more of your pictures
Thanks Peter…..hopefully India again in November.
Love the new theme, Peter! Your pictures really stand out against the dark background.
Thanks Uday. They say a change is as good as a rest! I like the way it has a more magazine like feel to it so glad you like :)
Love the new feel of your blog – your photos look even better, they have become somehow brighter (if that is possible). Well, the darker background seems to have done the trick, so keep snapping and changing! K.
Thanks I’m glad you like it :) I need to customise the font I think its too fat (especially when viewed on ipad) need to be a bit thinner I think.
Nice to hear form you!
Hey Pete! How are things going with you? As I said in one of my other comments, I’m so glad to see that you’re still blogging and sharing your wonderful photos! I want to put a widget on my blog for your blog, as my favourite photo blog. Would that be okay? Maybe I could use one of your favourite photos as the widget image which would link to your blog? Thank you and keep up the great work! :)
Your friend,
Janice (Cafe)
Janice!! :)
I was so pleased to hear from you this morning! I am really excited to read your comments, you know I will always be happy to hear from you.
Please do add that to your blog and I feel very honoured that you have asked me. I’m really glad :)
I hope you don’t mind, I will email you too. I’d love to find out what’s going on with you these days.
Speak soon
Hey Pete! I don’t have my other email address anymore, so I will send you my new one to the email address on your Contact page!
Hey Pete, I just sent you the email so let me know if you don’t end up getting it!
Hi Pete. Long time, no posts:) Hope everything is well with you.
Hi Uday its nice to hear from you :)
To be honest I’ve been so busy with a new job lately I don’t sit down at my desk as much as I have in the past.
All is good though and I’m really looking forward to starting 2014 with some exciting projects coming up. Starting with trips to Hyderabad, Delhi and Amritsar in February. I know you’re in Delhi so hope to meet up with you at some point there if you’re around?
Great to hear that, Pete! I know there are times when photography takes a backseat because of other demands on time. 2014 sounds really exciting and I am really looking forward to meeting you in Delhi. I’ll be in Kerala in Feb to capture the Theyyam festival. Pete, Kerala is another very, very interesting place that you might want to visit in future:)
Hi Peter ! I have an award for you :)
http://inspiredandpretty.wordpress.com/2013/12/19/an-award/
The new year seem full with great projects for you Peter and I know they will be a great success for you, with your sensitivity to the environment and the beauty in you images of a landscape or the capture of the children we have become familiar with in your posts.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful and peaceful Christmas. Best regards, james
James sorry for the late reply so slightly belated Christmas wishes from me I’m afraid!
I hope your Christmas was a good one.
I booked some flights yesterday for Feb and now really looking forward to setting off again. This time I have given myself a very particular brief though relating to the upcoming exhibition I mentioned to you before. I hope that the results are going to really help Hyderapals charity who are hosting it in London.
I was really pleased to see your pictures from the RIB on the Thames by the way. (I’ve just checked and noticed there is a part 2 which I’m heading to now for a better look! )
Have a great new year, all the best, Pete.
Hi peter,
That is quite alright and I do hope that you have had a wonderful Christmas. Seems like a lot of planning for the forth coming trips and the sponsored exhibition. 2014 seems like it is to be a great year for you and I look forward to following your projects whether they are planed or spontaneous.
Great job, love all of them. Best wishes.
:) Many thanks indeed!
Really love your work. Your images are incredibly captivating & very moving. All the best to you in 2014, looking forward to seeing more.
