After deciding to revisit our series of short interviews, I have decided to get them underway by firing a few questions at good friend and frequent contributor to THE NEW ORDER some personal questions. Residing in New York, Peter Sutherland has forged a career as a leading photographer that has seen him make his way around the world. Check out his answers below along with a shot of him as a teen when his famous beard couldn’t cover his face.
