Commercially, Peters has over 10 years of experience working with luxury products and shooting still life and fashion for advertising and editorial. Since 2016, she has conceived and photographed editorials for every issue of Numéro Berlin, as well as for other magazines. In addition to these editorials, she has shot still life campaigns for Rimowa, Birkenstock, Louis Vuitton, Farfetch, HUGO, Akoni and Glossier. Recent editorial work will be published in the book Louis Vuitton – Bags, published by Rizzoli, NY (2027).
Deeply inspired by the work of German photographer August Sander (1876–1964) and his magnum opus Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts (People of the 20th Century), in which he catalogued the archetypes of his time, Peters has developed her own method of categorisation since 2006.
To this day, Peters continues to organise her analogue large-format photographs into sections, which she titles, among others, III. The Garden, IV. Ads, VI. The Breakfast, VII. Poster, XI. Illusion, XII. Desserts, and XV. Shopnow.fr. Together, these photographic series form a continuously evolving catalogue, which she refers to as the Archive Series.
Through this self-created archive, Peters reflects on her experience of the repetitive images that surround her—primarily advertising, fashion, and product imagery encountered on the internet, in magazines and books, and in public space. By collecting, analyzing and reproducing these visual codes, she examines the ways in which such images shape our perception and become part of our visual memory.
While each series may initially appear familiar and readily recognisable, each pursues a distinct and deeper focus. Peters often recreates and analyses the visual language of commercial photography, exploring its seductive aesthetics and, at times, introducing a sense of visual humour, as in XI. Illusion (2011–2016). Other series engage with historical research, personal reflection, or the photographic document.
Since 2015, Peters has been particularly interested in the stereotypes of e-commerce photography, which led to the ongoing series XV. Shopnow.fr, an exploration of the webshop as both a concept and an image. Other series, such as XIX. Oeuvre and XX. GoSees, continue her interest in adapting well-known photographic strategies, though their aesthetic and motivation align more closely with classic documentary photography.
Some of her photographs have been materialised as artist books and framed objects. In exhibitions, she is particularly interested in the space between decoration and art installation, raising questions about how commercialism and shop-window design influence the concept of “Art” and and vice versa. Her images, often presented in colorful or thematically matched frames on stands, become objects in themselves—products.
