Peter Hancock Photography This page is for me to share photos taken on the adventures I have had & ones I have yet to have.

Hi, I’m an amateur photographer with a lifelong passion for capturing moments through the lens. For as long as I can remember, photography has been my way of telling stories, celebrating people, and preserving memories that words alone can’t describe. While I enjoy photographing a wide range of subjects, one of my greatest inspirations is the RNLI. I have huge admiration for the courage and dedica

tion of its crews, and I’d love to play a bigger part in supporting their lifesaving work. Through my photography, I try to raise awareness of the RNLI’s mission and celebrate the people who give so much to protect others. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to gain accreditation to photograph some truly historic events, including Trooping the Colour for The King’s Official Birthday and The Hogmanay Celebrations in Edinburgh. I’ve also photographed events surrounding Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee and State Funeral in 2022, as well as The King’s Coronation the following year. Each of these occasions has been an incredible honour to capture through my lens. Alongside these national moments, I also enjoy photographing local events that celebrate the spirit and creativity of my home city. From the excitement of the Bulwell Arts Festival Boat Race to the tradition of Goose Fair and the vibrant spectacle of Light Night, these occasions are a joy to capture and reflect the energy of the community in Nottingham.

Last day in Cornwall today and what a week it’s been.

I’ve really enjoyed being alongside the RNLI lifeguards at Perranporth and capturing life on the beach on camera during some incredible weather.

Here are just some of the photographs taken!

Before the season began… RNLII lifeguards from Perranporth headed to Mylor Harbour for pre-season RWC (Rescue Water Craft) training, fine-tuning skills ahead of returning to patrol. From handling drills to rescue scenarios, every session was about building confidence, teamwork and readiness for the months ahead

Now the season is underway, that preparation is already making a difference out on the water.

Felt like a proper summer’s day on the beach today ☀️🌊

With the sunshine bringing the crowds, the RNLI lifeguards on Perranporth Beach were kept busy from the off — monitoring the water, managing the flags, and responding when it mattered most.

Only a few days left of this trip, but managed to capture some really great moments 📸🌊

From inductions, training sessions and action shots on the beach it’s been great and hoping to capture a few more before it’s time to head home.

As the RNLI celebrate 25 years of lifeguards, Perranporth’s new recruit has been getting well and truly stuck in 🐻🌊

From checking kit and radios, keeping a close eye on the beach, getting familiar with the equipment and even taking charge of the RWC!!!

Lifeguard Bear’s first few days have definitely been busy.

Today, RNLI lifeguards from Perranporth took to the water at Mylor Harbour for a key pre-season training session.

Working through both IRB and RWC rescue scenarios, the team sharpened their skills ahead of the season starting this Friday 💪🌊

Here are a few photographs taken last summer in Cornwall that capture the commitment, skill, and hard work of the RNLI lifeguards who keep our beaches safe.

I am looking forward to being back behind the camera and documenting it all again very soon.

Really pleased to have one of my photos of the Perranporth Lifeguards featured in the spring edition of the RNLI’s Lifeboat magazine. It was great seeing it in print alongside the incredible work the RNLI does. 😁

This year marks 25 years since RNLI lifeguards first raised the flags on beaches up and down the country. I can't wait to capture more photographs when the season begins in April (on selected beaches).
