  Over a career of 35 years Peggy Peattie has been dedicated to professional photojournalism and outdoor adventure photography. Peattie dedicates her work to developing visual narratives in the documentary tradition of capturing those definitive moments that reveal the essence of our shared humanity. Her own treks and adventures on the ocean and through mountain ranges around the world bring together both the theme of visual communication and an appreciation for the natural world and the richness of the many cultures around the world.

She has also published work in numerous news and sports magazines, and been staff photographer on book projects like A Day in the Life of America, America 24/7, A Day in the Life of the American Woman and In Search of America. Her own book, Down in Dixie, examines the strained historical heritage of racial tension surrounding the confederate flag in South Carolina.
  
  That work earned her a grant from the Alexia Foundation for World Peace and Cultural Understanding. She has also won several Knight Fellowships. Peattie has won numerous awards from thePictures of the Year international, National Press Photographer’s Association, the Asian American Journalists Association, the National Headliner Award, Greater Los Angeles Press Photographer’s Association and Society of Professional Journalists.
