“I have been fortunate to have guided many gifted photographers through the Yukon and Arctic wilderness. There are a few who stand out for the level of passion and enthusiasm that is reflected in their photography. Peter is definitely one of these people.”
Frank Turner / Musher, Yukon Quest champion and long time record holder / Muktuk Kennels / Whitehorse / Yukon / Canada
“Your dark and light room work is very well done. I especially appreciate the fact that you have stayed true to the medium of photography, which cannot necessarily be said of the developments in the field in the last few years.”
H. Eberhoefer / Germany
“I would like to congratulate you on your work. When a photographer looks at someone else’s work and wishes he had done it himself, I think that really says it all. This happened to me quite often when looking at your photos.”
S. Kuhn / Switzerland
I stumbled across Peter's exhibition by accident and was completely swept away by his astounding photographs, they resonated with me in a way that both surprised and delighted me. His works seem to trigger both emotions and the senses, and I found the way he brings his wonderful perspective to my home country of Canada profoundly moving.

Over the last few years I have been very fortunate to eyewitness Peter Frehner at work with his camera.
Photographs can be a product of chance, but Peter knows exactly what he want to capture with his lense.
Sensibel, harsh, full of contrast, touching! Photographs that one will not forget. Continue with your work
of art, it is so special.
S. Lanfranchi - v. Gontard / Switzerland
“I began to see many of them (the photographs) again drifting slowly through my thoughts: the veteran, boots nailed to a fence, train cars waiting to be filled with grain, the bison – all remarkably clear and present. I truly think that what I experienced afterwards was even more impressive than the actual viewing. Your photography impressed me very much.”
L. Wilson / Switzerland
"I am absolutely enchanted by the images."
A. Koeppel-Hefti / Switzerland
“How can you resist Peter Frehner's fascinating photo world? You want to immerse yourself in each picture and explore the story behind it. His photos have a beauty far beyond their technical perfection.”
E. Badilatti
“Frehner captures his motifs with a gaze that discovers the unusual in the ordinary, focusing on the usually overlooked detail.”
M. Meier / Switzerland
“The pictures are themselves silence and serenity – simply walking and looking I felt as if I were disturbing an inner peace the photographer had achieved at great cost. He looks through the lens of his camera with a tender sensitivity and shows us the living forces of this country in its utter uniqueness – without othering a culture.”
G. Gredig / Switzerland
“The photographs are personally appealing, impressive and touching. For me, the simple and yet somewhat special motifs are the most beautiful and P. Frehner has an eye for them and the expertise to bring out the most important.”
A. Kenedy / Switzerland
“The photos are deeply moving. One picture in particular captivated my gaze from afar. Courage, strength, the timelessness of nature: that's what the image of a bison radiates for me. Thank you for that!”
A. Schaffluetzel / Switzerland
“Every time, I discover a special light, special natural phenomena, and natural, happy and simple people. You must have an artistic, professional eye and heart for recognizing these moments, and this is certainly the case with Peter Frehner.”
A. M. Signorell / Switzerland
