The Magic of Light - an emerging vision by artist photographer Peter Holmes Sellers, is a photographic fable, a story to be told combining a unique mosaic of more than two hundred images accompanied by words and quotations.

"Your photographs are beautiful and I am proud to be associated with your art. God bless your path" - Paulo Coelho.

"It's the most beautiful, lyrical thing...the photographs are stunning...the text is very sensitively chosen...it's absolutely magnificent" - Senator David Norris.

"'This opening of our eyes, in the pictures of the photographer who handles light so brilliantly, startles me and at the same time gives me pause for thought" - Arpad Goncz Hungarian President 1990-2000.

This extraordinary photographic odyssey has been created with the author’s desire to take the reader on a visual voyage across magical countries and cities of the Western World, to marvel at nature and all it’s mystery, identify the feminine side of the world and it’s importance in balancing with the masculine in order to promote peace and harmony, communicate through the heart and see the world with the eyes of a child. And finally to look to the skies as Leonardo da Vinci said he could see all of life passing by in infinite shapes in the clouds.

As a picture story, the images in the book have been created around the country of the Virgin Mary, The Emerald Isle and the Island of Love and Beauty. These images, all the more intensified by the importance of time, were taken at the dawn of the new millennium, a time when the world and the magic of it’s light shone all the more brightly with hope for the future. Both the images and the words written in a Joycean flow of consciousness are designed to uplift the reader and to comprehend the need to bridge the spiritual and material worlds, the invisible and the visible and show what is truly meaningful when seen through the magic of light.

Peter Holmes Sellers has been described as "one of the UK’s most cutting edge photographers" by Hotshoe International for his images taken in Hungary in 1992. Consequently, Peter was commissioned to narrate a photographic story to an international audience of the planned 1996 Budapest World Expo, "communication for a better world". This photographic story was shown as a solo exhibition in the Budapest History Museum in the Royal Palace over Christmas 1994 and is both the inspiration and at the heart of the book.

"I was moved by the palpable beauty and energy of the people and place in particular Budapest and I felt I could show this to a wider audience by taking pictures and that was the start of my photographic odyssey woken by a full moon over the river Danube and the Royal Palace streaming into my hotel room early one morning in February 1989. Seventeen years later 'The Magic of Light' is complete.

A deep desire to communicate with the world and promote feelings of happiness and beauty and uplift people has been the core inspiration behind the wonderful perfumes created in Ireland. "Innisfree - the essence of Ireland" (1996) "Inis - the energy of the sea" (1998) "Inis arose" (2002) have all received international acclaim. Currently Peter is working on a new fragrance for 2006/07
