Peter Peryer: Portrait of a Photographer

Television (Full Length) – 1994

Ever wondered why artist Peter Peryer photographed himself holding a chicken? This documentary provides the answer. Directed by Greg Stitt (Just Me and Mario), it traces the path of one of New Zealand's most significant, and intriguing, art photographers — from "crucified Christ to laughing Buddha" — through Catholic themes, to a more minimalist approach. Also showcased are some of Peryer's captivating images: the "bodies of work, families of photos, and images that rhyme". The photographer passed away on 18 November 2018.

In 1994 Peter Peryer was practicing yoga, where Suzi was teaching. Peter asked Suzi to be his yoga model for the NZ on Air documentary.

“It was a huge privilege to be asked. Working with Peter was such fun, he was inspiring and passionate, a very genuine person. Years later, in Dizengoff cafe, I bumped into him a few times. He was unwell at the time and yet still so animated and vital.”
