Peter Moss s photographic persona was formed in Australia, rising through a formal apprenticeship in the camera department on feature films and commercials to become a leading Director of Photography in that country, with credits on seminal Australian classics such as Breaker Morant and My Brilliant Career (among many others) and shooting award winning commercials for major clients including Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Levi s, Air New Zealand, Malaysian Airlines, Revlon, Dior and others. Peter s work was noticed in the U.S.and he began to shoot both feature films and commercials in the American market eventually moving to Los Angeles on a permanent basis. Alongside his film career he was able to launch a career as a very successful commercial director/director of photography. He has directed and shot award winning national advertising in the U.S.A. for American Airlines, Sears, Gillette, Miller Beer, Shell, Anheuser Busch, Labatt Beer, Avis, Esso, Toyota, JC Penney, Chevrolet and many many others,including campaigns for Italy (Ferrero Rocher, Avena, Chivas Regal), Thailand (Thai Farmers Bank) and New Zealand (NZ Tourism and Air New Zealand). He has garnered directing and cinematography awards in many festivals including: The Clio Awards, The New York International Film Festival, The London International Film Festival, The Hollywood International Broadcast Awards, The Chicago Film Festival, The Eastman Kodak Award, The Houston International Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.
Peter is now focusing more on his original craft, purely as a Director of Photography, both on commercials and in the feature film and television world. He has just finished post production on Tell the World a period film about hope and disappointment in the American 19th century which he shot in Canada, and completed principal photography on the Berlin sequences of Race, a feature film about the 1936 Olympics starring Jeremy Irons, just released in the U.S. and Europe.
