Each season brings new colors and landscapes to explore. Photography allows me to experience and share the beauty of our natural world with all it has to offer.

hi there!

I’m Pete – A wildlife and landscape photography enthusiast based in central Switzerland

We love nature…

and we spend as much quality time as possible in the outdoors.

My wife Sonja and I decided to follow our passions. In 2020, I quit the job I enjoyed – after three decades as an executive in the exciting corporate world.

Best. Decision. Ever.

We now spend most of my time with our dogs, and I’m out in nature and enjoying photography of animals, landscapes and whatever piques my interest. And helping out with local nature conservation efforts which are near and dear to my heart.
When not outdoors, I love dabbling around with software and programming various apps to help make our lives just that little bit easier.

How was it possible for me to quit my job cold-turkey? If you are curious, you can check it out. I wrote an app to help others also achieve their dreams. You can find it in the Apple App Store – FIRE Financial Independence.

And in case you love dogs, check out my dog photography at pfotenliebe.ch.
Pfotenliebe is German for “paw love”.
