Mark Peters - Beyond the Lens

Mark Peters is a sought after, top-rated International Motivational Keynote Speaker, Raconteur, War journalist and Photographer based in South Africa. Mark Peters has had one of the most extraordinary lives.

Photographing some of the world’s greatest celebrities and politicians, being sentenced to death twice, going on forced marches with guerrilla troops, being tortured and living the high life are only a small part of this highly unconventional man. Do not expect anything you have seen before.

Laugh, cry and be inspired by a man who has seen some great moments of our time. His relationship with Nelson Mandela is particularly special and reveals facets seldom revealed.

This is a “fly by the seat of your pants, hang on and be hurtled round the world” set of talks that will mesmerise you in the most unforgettable way. Mark has changed many people's lives by his insight, humour and grasp of humanity.
