Through the intense preoccupation with art came Peter Muller again to photography, which he had developed himself as a 20-year old on his first tour in the Mediterranean and later to travel to South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, China and India. With his work, Muller demonstrates his specific manner, to look at things and the influence of light, movement, to perceive proportions and moods and to implement. There were impressions, that at the same time reflect the beauty of the colors and shapes as well as the volatility of the encounters and the futility of the pause. Friends find themselves in easily manipulated portraits, which reveal a (sometimes unknown or surprising) part of their being.

In the foreground of his shots resulting mostly from the moment the encounter are in addition to the magnificence of nature with the people and their lives. His most popular subjects include landscapes, the sky, lakes, simple things of daily life, children, his friends, animals. Plants as well as movement and stillness.
