For someone who would describe himself as a “home-body”, Peter Soros’s actions would tell a different story. At age 17, he home schooled himself his senior year of high school so he could graduate early and move to Italy. To much surprise his American high school diploma was not held in high regard, so he had to start at the 3rd of 5 years art specific high school, where he focused on graphic design. While in Sicily he also studied classical guitar privately for advancement at the music conservatory in Palermo. It wasn’t until Peter moved back to San Diego from Italy, that he began teaching himself photography.
