About the Artist
Born in New York City to German and Japanese parents, Markus Peters grew up surrounded by the art objects, paintings, photographs, and artist-friends his parents had gathered during their travels. Making images became a central part of his early life.
He earned degrees in visual arts (painting) and sociology from Colgate University and later studied filmmaking through New York University’s continuing education program, going on to build a career in documentary film. He has collaborated with filmmakers Albert Maysles, Bob Balaban, Hava Kohav Beller, and Robert Frye, among others. His years in filmmaking continue to shape the sensibility and structure of his photographic work.
Markus moved to Rye, NY in 2013, where he lives with his wife and two children, both graduates of Rye High School.
