During the seventies Peter Ruting (1938), an already successful and experienced commercial photographer, started concentrating on his personal work. In 1983 he made his debut at the Canon Photo Gallery in Amsterdam. Since then many exhibitions followed in the USA and Europe. He now ranks one of the top photographers in the Netherlands.

In 1988 ‘Images Of Thought’ was published, a book about Peter Ruting with an introduction by Stuart Bennett, auctioneer in photography at Christie’s in London and Sotheby’s in New York. On seeing his work at the Photographers’ Gallery in London, Bennett wrote: ‘I simply knew I had never seen anything like it for sheer mastery of photographic technique’.Peter Ruting beliefs photography consists to a large extent of looking and thinking. He meditates on a meticulous arrangement of a few objects. Above all, he takes his time. He contemplates days, even weeks. Then he shoots. Like Zen. Full and empty.
