Peter A. Dettling, born October 15, 1972 in Sedrun - Switzerland, is a photographer, painter and author whose passion for the natural world has taken him all over the globe, from the Galapagos Islands to Alaska's far north, and from the African Plains to the Swiss Alps. His images have won numerous awards and are published regularly in various print outlets and leading magazines. His clients include organizations such as Malik/National Geographic, Canadian Geographic, Maclean’s, Outdoor Photography Canada, Animal Planet, Nature of Things/CBC & SRF (Swiss Radio & Television). His work has been portrayed on TV and has been featured in gallery shows across North America and Europe, including the world-renowned American Museum of Natural History in New York & the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.

Since his childhood, Peter has been deeply moved by people who work passionately for saving the last remaining pristine environments and the wild animals that live in them. Peter is driven by the idea that art can make a difference. Peter hopes his art will promote a better relationship between humans and nature, in particular, with large predators, such as wolves and bears. In 2006, Peter Dettling was one of the first ever to photograph a wild wolf on Swiss soil after they started to make a shy comeback in the Alps late in the 20th century.
