Dynamic, provocation and lust
Oliver Rath was born on 14 April 1978 in Heidelberg, Germany, and grew up in the Black Forest. As a twenty-yearold, he was already earning a living as a musicproducer in Freiburg. After winning the Red Bull Music Academy New York, he discovered his passion for photography.
After experimenting initially with a small Lumix digital camera in 2007, he taught himself the skills and became aware of the scope of the photographic art form, showing a great deal of discipline. He has been keeping a highly popular photo blog since 2008, and running a gallery for photography and modern art in Berlin since 2012. One focus is portraits (including those of Karl Lagerfeld and Eva Padberg) as well as photo shoots for GQ, New York Times, Rolling Stones Magazine, Universal, Sony Music, Adidas Originals and many more.
Oliver Rath’s photos range from spontaneous shots to conceptual work. Since 2010 he has been living in Berlin and so BERLIN BOHÈME was the title of his first book. His new book BORN WILD IN BERLIN contains a scintillating display of dynamic, provocative eroticism with a dash of humour. His blog publishes new work every day, showing all the facets of our daily lives, more often than not a little “over the top”.
As the design magazine PAGE puts it: “The photographs look like stills from movie scenes, with carefully organised choreography, props and actors”.
Note: On Friday, 19th August 2016, shortly before the publication of “Born Wild in Berlin” Oliver Rath sadly and unexpectedly passed away. Olli was a gifted artist and photographer; his art unique and inimitable. His cheerful nature coupled with his positive energy always made working with him a joyful experience. He will be missed. All our thoughts are with his wife Tina and their two children.
Nachtrag: Kurz vor der Auslieferung seines Buches «Born wild in Berlin» ist Oliver Rath am Freitag, den 19.8.2016 verstorben. Olli war ein begnadeter Künstler und Fotograf, die Handschrift seiner Fotos ist unverkennbar. Sein fröhliches Wesen, die positive Energie, die Zusammenarbeit mit ihm waren stets eine Freude. Er wird uns allen fehlen, und wir sind in Gedanken bei seiner jungen Familie, bei seiner Frau Tina und ihren zwei Kindern.
