Peter Bennetts is a Melbourne-based architectural and interiors photographer originally trained at RMIT University. Since the late 1990s, he has forged a global reputation for his “straight-shooting” style—capturing the formal, material, and atmospheric qualities of architecture with crystalline stillness and clarity. His work appears in leading Australian and international publications including *Domus*, *Wallpaper*, *Frame*, and *Architecture Australia*.
Beyond documenting contemporary buildings, Bennetts brings a keen environmental sensibility to his visual storytelling. His early career in environmental reportage led him to document vulnerable ecologies like the coral atolls of Tuvalu, and this concern for place continues to inform his architectural imagery. His photography resonates for its balance of precision, poetic restraint, and narrative depth.
