Photographers - Anders Peterson

Petersen is noted for his intimate and personal documentary-style black-and-white photographs. He studied photography under Christer Strömholm in Sweden, 1966-1967. For three years beginning in 1967 he photographed the late-night regulars (prostitutes, transvestites, drunks, lovers and drug addicts) in Café Lehmitz, a bar in Hamburg, Germany.

Some quotes by him; 

• "To me, it's encounters that matter, pictures are much less important."
• "I can't describe reality; at the most, I can try to capture things that seem to be valid, the way I see them."

Peterson has a very similar style as Diana Arbus due to the colour scheme and visuals.
