“I photograph things as they are.”
                       ~ Walker Evans

 

A Connecticut Commission on the Arts Grant recipient for his photographic work, Mr. Bosco was also nominated for a coveted Solomon Guggenheim Fellowship.  He holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in photography from Ohio University.

Mr. Bosco primarily photographs places, “America”, including a long-term project, “Fading Places”, chronicling “things as they are”, rendered in a literal way.

He utilizes large and ultra-large format cameras. (including a vintage 11 x 14” camera).  All of the images are hand-printed in traditional silver gelatin, with some pieces hand-coated with platinum and palladium salts. His personal work has been shown throughout New England, including a solo exhibition at the New Britain Museum of American Art.

As an educator, Peter served as the teacher assistant coordinator at the Maine Photographic Workshops, in Rockport, Maine. He later served as printer and first assistant to the late celebrated photographer Arnold Newman in New York City. 

Peter has also conducted many photographic workshops, including yearly weekend excursions to the top of Mount Washington in winter through the Mount Washington Observatory.  He completed a 15-year photographic survey, “Mount Washington and the Summit Community”. That body of work was exhibited at the Mount Washington Observatory summit museum.

His current project is a film bio-documentary on the life and retrospective of renowned American photographer,
George A. Tice, which is slated for completion sometime in 2012.
