Peter Christoph is a prominent New England wildlife photographer, speaker, and author based in the small coastal town of Hancock Maine. Many winters ago Peter built a rustic cabin along the Tully River on five acres of woods. It was from this base camp that he developed both his love for birds and his skills in photographing them.
Peter’s passion for capturing birds in their natural habitat, his technical excellence, and his artistic vision are revealed in his compelling images. His bird images have received widespread exposure in several magazines and magazine covers. By sharing his photos, Peter hopes to help people appreciate, respect, and assist in the conservation of our feathered friends. Peter has taken a special interest in helping to restore the declining American Kestrel population in New England by installing several kestrel boxes in collaboration with the Audubon Society, the Division of Fish and Wildlife, and the Trustees of Reservations.
