For those of you familiar with the history of photography, especially color photography, the name Pete Turner conjures up imagery of intense color and saturation. A master and a pioneer. Pete passed away a couple of days ago at the age of 83. His pioneering experimental imagery will surely be missed.
Please visit his website – http://www.peteturner.com/ There you can find many of his well known images and interviews.

Wow, Keith. I want to photograph like him. Sorry to read this.
Pete was one of the first photographers to be represented by the Image Bank photo agency. He has one of the first three contracts. I was an editor there for a few years. Pete just submitted his work straight through into distribution. No one edited his work!
What a bummer. Pete did color in a way that even today no one has matched.
Great man, great heart, good night Pete. 😓
He was special wasn’t he!
When I was a student at RIT I became aware of Pete Turner, he had a tremendous influence on the way I began to shoot…..he will be sorely missed.
He certainly will Jeff.
