Long Island native, Photographic Craftsman, and Portrait Artist, Peter M. Budraitis has owned a full-service photography studio in downtown Glen Cove since 1990. Peter holds the degree of Photographic Craftsman with the Professional Photographers of America, a Qualified degree, and an Accredited degree from the Professional Photographers’ Society of New York State.  Peter has served on the board of The Professional Photographers of Greater New York in various positions, including President. He has conducted lectures and classes for professional photographers throughout the tri-state area on various topics of photography, digital imaging, and marketing. He has won awards for his portraiture and recognition of his enthusiastic efforts toward the advancement of professional photography. Although Peter works predominantly in the Long Island and Tri-Stare area, has been flown to exotic locations such as the Caribbean to photograph client special events.

While Peter’s studio, Peter M. Budraitis Photography, offers a full range of photographic and digital imaging services, his studio features a state-of-the-art camera room and an in-house print lab.  Peter’s prime focus in photography is on classical portraiture. The reason Peter has been drawn to classical portraiture is due to its timeless beauty. When not creating portraits, Peter’s love of photography is photographing landscapes by land, sea, and helicopter.
