Peter Beavis has been shooting regularly for Wired Magazine, photographing a number of well-known personalities including Ozwald Boateng, Christopher Bailey, Lord Sugar and Brian Cox.

He was very recently commissioned to shoot large-scale, intimate and emotional portraits for McCanns. He has just returned from Barcelona for the product brand launch, where the 20ft-high portraits were displayed in the arches of the gothic 15th century chapel in the Plaça dels Angels.

Just uploaded to his site are his latest personal works, Padstow RNLI and the night surfers shot on Rarotonga. Both series capture the brooding strength and fortitude of the subjects.
