Podcast: Interview with Mike Peters

Mike Peters continued to amaze us last year despite a particularly difficult set of challenges. Instead of folding beneath the competitive pressure, he seemed to effortlessly wrangle a veritable bevy of captivating shots in the most uncooperative conditions.

Like what, you ask? Well, you try shooting the notoriously photo-weary locals in New York's Chinatown district, finding subjects on an unpopulated Coney Island on a cloudy day, and taking on the ever-frustrating watermelon element without blowing a gasket.

See how he fared here and be sure to check out his gallery on Page Three as you listen to him describe his approach to the arduous challenge that is Photographer of the Year.
