Peter Turner (writer and photographer)

[1][2][n 1] He began working at SLR magazine where he learned the journalist's trade and encountered Creative Camera.

[2] David Brittain, writing in Afterimage Journal, said "Over the next nine years Creative Camera became a pillar of the support structure for photography in the United Kingdom and a byword for good taste".

[2] He left Creative Camera in 1978 to set up with his partner, Heather Forbes, the short-lived photographic publisher Travelling Light in 1980 in Putney.

In 1986, with Travelling Light in financial difficulties,[2] Turner returned to Creative Camera as editor, welcoming colour photography ("by championing younger documentarists such as Paul Graham, Martin Parr, Paul Seawright, Anna Fox, and emerging transcendental formalists including Peter Fraser")[3] and tolerating the photographic work of "fine artists".

The scholarship is "awarded once each year to an exceptional candidate wishing to advance their photographic work through a period of postgraduate study".
