Pete Carter

Pete Carter's new book is a collection of nearly 200 interviews conducted with New Zealanders in 75 different countries whilst they dealt with Covid-19 wherever they were in 2020. The photographs were supplied by the interviewees and places them within their stories.

He is also the author of This is Us commissioned by Exisle Puiblishing, which tells the stories of more than 200 New Zealanders in words and photographic portraits. The book is a snapshot of New Zealand as it was in 2019. Pete believes that everyone has a story.

Pete wrote Our Dog Benji (2017), a children’s book illustrated by his nephew and published by EK Books.

He is also the author of two books of poetry and prose Buddy's Brother and It's your Dad. Pete has had magazine articles published and poetry in anthologies. As a photographer he has had two solo exhibitions and work included in group exhibitions in New Zealand and overseas.

In 2019 Pete had a three months writing residency in rural France where he finished This Is Us and wrote half a novel.
