Eliott Peacock was born in Seattle in 1973. Raised by a painter (mother) and a jazz bassist/composer (father), he was encouraged to follow his muse. Eliott moved to Aspen, Colorado after high school and spent the next 7 years mountaineering and snowboarding competitively. He returned to Seattle in 1999 and earned his Baccalaureate in International Affairs at the University of Washington (2004). While completing his degree, he undertook grant-funded research and leadership projects in Norway, France, and Italy in the fields of genetic ecology and International Policy.
He moved to the Catskill Mountains (New York) in 2017 and began photography in 2020 as an art practice. His work is reflective of his love of nature, a fascination with optics and light, and an abiding trust that his perceptual experiences can evoke a spontaneous and improvisational use of his camera.
