About

Hi, my name is Peter.

Peter Melms Photo

"Me fooling around prior to a photo shoot at a nightclub in Copenhagen."

I’m 26 years old, and currently residing in Copenhagen, Denmark. I have a great passion for all-things-visual, mainly photography. Back in 2007 I got my very first DSLR, a Canon 400D. A year later I upgraded to a Canon 50D. I’ve shot most of my favorite pictures with the latter, but I’m also a believer of the “you’re not better than your latest work” philosophy.

I also have a small passion for drawing that I’ve tried to cultivate a bit lately, and maybe I’ll show off some of my pencil work here as well, but I have to admit that it may be a bit too explicit for this website. Anyway, time will tell…

I’ve expanded my field of creative work, adding soundwaves to my lightwaves. Make sure you check out Technicians Official Website where I release my musical productions from time to time.

Sincerely,
Peter Melms
