Aaron Peterson is a freelance photographer and writer based near Marquette, Michigan on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

He offers editorial, commercial and stock photography services as well as a growing line of fine art prints, posters and bookmarks.

The Upper Peninsula (U.P.) is a land carved by the forces of the Great Lakes and warmed by the spirit of its resilient and hardy people, affectionately known as "Yoopers."

Peterson holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a double major in Chinese Language and Literature and East Asian Studies. It's a long story.

The artist is self-taught, having learned to harness the power of the photographic image and hitch it to the written word while cultivating the pages of newspapers around the Midwest.
