Bushy
as he is more commonly called by his peers and by the model subjects he has
photographed in the last 60 years as a Photojournalists. He is dubbed “New
Zealand’s leading rugby photographer” and has been capturing the All Blacks
since his first assignment as news photographer for the New Zealand Herald in
1949. He is as much part of New Zealand rugby as any of the players that he has
photographed and is recognizable to rugby fans as the players themselves,
racing up and down the side line in rugby boots to keep up with the action and
to get that great shot. No other photographer has had such privileged access to
the great All Blacks teams, on and off the field. His work has appeared in
countless publications worldwide and he has published three books. He was born
in Auckland on the 16th October 1931 with the name of Peter George
Bush and would very much like to be labelled an adventurer, reminiscing of the
time he worked on a Freighter to pay his way as he travelled the world high
seas. Many
of his images indicated the lighting and weather conditions, the politics and
unique photographs, possible only by someone whom earned the trust of this
unique brotherhood. I would very much like to emulate Peter Bush, the
adventurous photographer and his unique relationships with the people he
captures in his photographs.
