Pete Millson

MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHER

"Nobody on earth photographs musicians better than Pete Millson. Nobody looks more carefully, waits more patiently, pounces more delicately and tactfully as he captures a thousand subtle shades of their soul. As a deep thinker, lifelong musician and passionate lover of songcraft, he is the ideal person for the job and executes it as only a person with those three special qualifications could. There is nobody else quite like Pete. I suspect that one day, long after all of us here now are gone, there will be some kind of special cathedral named after him."

​

The above is all true, as long as you can picture it being shouted into a megaphone in a field of sheep by my good friend, Tom Cox.
