He learned his love for photography then and soon moved to Paris to start his photography career. Peter is married to Petra Sedlack and has four boys.
The majority of Peter's work is black and white, all are portraits of women. The women in the photos don’t look extremely feminine, which can be a consistent thing in any kind of image of women. He believes it’s the industry’s job to make women look strong and independent. “ If photographers are responsible for creating or reflecting an image of women in society then I must say, there is only one way for the future, and this is to define women as strong and independent. This should be the responsibility of photography today: to free women, and finally everyone from the terror of youth and perfection”
