Commercial & Corporate Photographer

Hello, I’m Peter Olgar, US-based photographer serving organisations of all scales. My goal isn’t awards—it’s delivering authentic, engaging visuals that surpass expectations.

About Peter

Originally from the UK, I’ve been passionate about photography since childhood. I studied graphic design—where I first picked up a camera—and began my career in London, working on large design briefs. After relocating to US in my early twenties, I founded a successful branding agency. Twelve years later, I transitioned fully into photography. Since then, I’ve specialised in authentic corporate, commercial, and industrial imagery.

Visual Communications Expertise

With 30 years in corporate communications as a photographer and creative director, I appreciate the importance of aligning photography with organisational culture. I work nationwide, collaborating with public and private sector clients to document people, projects, and spaces—building high-value image libraries.

On‑site Agility

I understand that every workplace has its own culture. Whether in boardrooms or industrial settings, I create authentic workplace visuals that reflect how teams truly operate.

Industrial Work

I regularly photograph in construction zones, mines, wind farms, and other heavy‑industry sites. Skilled at coordinating with site managers, I handle shoot logistics with care and professionalism.

Safety‑First Approach

I hold a WorkSafe White Card and a Rail Industry Worker Card, along with necessary PPE for all industrial sites. My photography promotes best-practice in workplace safety.
