Mike Peters
Photographer
Throughout my career, I have managed to balance by professional responsibilities to my clients by always being engaged in work that explored by interests and allowed for full personal expression of how I felt about those interests, needing only to satisfy myself in the process.
I am currently the staff photographer at Montclair State University in Montclair, NJ. I also work for a variety of clients on a freelance basis shooting products, architecture, interiors, portraits, and all types of events. Before joining the staff at Montclair State, I made images for corporate annual reports, advertising, magazines, newspapers, text-book publishers and public relations. I was a staff newspaper photographer for 3 years in NJ and freelanced for the NY Times for 5 years.

Brooklyn Museum: Click! A Crowd-Curated Exhibition
ConeyIsland_videoman, 2007
Click! is a photography exhibition that invites Brooklyn Museum's visitors, the online community, and the general public to participate in the exhibition process. Taking its inspiration from the critically acclaimed book The Wisdom of Crowds, in which New Yorker business and financial columnist James Surowiecki asserts that a diverse crowd is often wiser at making decisions than expert individuals, Click! explores whether Surowiecki's premise can be applied to the visual arts is a diverse crowd just as wise at evaluating art as the trained experts?
