United Kingdom-based photographer Peter Meter has spent over a decade refining his craft through careful observation and visual storytelling. He offers a glimpse into the thinking behind Tones of Dim and the inspirations that continue to influence his work.

My eyes have inspired me since I could make sense of what I am seeing. Like all good journeys, there has been a beginning, we await to see the middle and the end.

This is the first competition that I have entered for photography. This feels like a spark that will make me consider photography to be more than just snappy fun times.

Too many to choose from! Decided on the best from a bad bunch.

My dad is big into photography. But of course, as I am part of a certain generation, my first camera was integrated with my mobile telephonic device.

Nothing in particular, as long as it's the type of photography and the stuff that I do, I pretty much enjoy and love it.

My camera! For me, battery charged and lens cap off is a must.

A nice warm handshake to the heart.

Holding the camera steady.

I like people, places and things personally. I think they are fountains of inspiration.

I would say, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce who has been my biggest influence.

You phone camera is your best friend.

Do what you want! Don't let go of your freedom and just do it.

No role whatsoever. Just take good pictures and let your own creative work flow through.

Editing and post-processing will be even more obsolete.
