For MEN’S HEALTH, TIM PETERSEN photographed Nico Rosberg in his home Monaco. The former Finnish-German race car driver and investor on the story: “Thrilled about my new story with Men's Health Magazine! As someone who's passionate about human performance and mental well-being, it's been exciting to share my path from F1 to Entrepreneurship and Investing in Green Technologies.

DIE ZEIT is celebrating its 77th birthday this year and published an anniversary edition with 77 selected texts from over 77 years – including an article on tennis legend Steffi Graf. The strong black & white portraits were photographer by TIM PETERSEN.
The anniversary project in print media and online brings back memories of monumental events and important debates with its 77 original articles, but also the atmosphere of the individual time periods. Design and photography of the special edition also tap into the event world and awareness of life of these epochs. “The way we were. The way we wanted to be. The way we turned out, who we are.” – this central idea refers not only to the development of TIME but also to the history of the German Federal Republic.
TIM PETERSEN photographed the spread entitled ‘Une vie débauche’ with Luc Defant in front of the camera on the Côte d’Azur.

Due to popular demand, Tim Petersen’s exhibition ‘Couture Transfer’ with Polaroid transfers and couture outfits has been extended until 30 July, 2023. With the exhibition at Sofitel Frankfurt Opera, the five-star superior hotel on Opernplatz with a knack for fashion continues a tradition it has grown to love.
The fashion photographer Tim Petersen, who comes from Hamburg and lives in New York, not only gives us a glimpse at a little fashion history with his series of Polaroid transfers of staged designs by big fashion players the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier at the end of the 1990s, but also a bit of photography history because of the elaborate manufacturing methods and limited edition.
