OLIVER RAUER PHOTOGRAPHY

Welcome to OLIVER RAUER PHOTOGRAPHY!

Oliver Rauer is a professional freelance photographer, artist and musician from Newcastle upon Tyne in the dark and damp northeast of England.

Originally from the north of Germany, Oliver relocated to Great Britain in the mid 90's. He discovered a talent and ultimately a passion for photography in 2006. Since then he has come a long way and interest in his unique, atmospheric, post-apocalyptic style of photography is steadily growing.

Oliver also spends a lot of his time in France, particularly the south, documenting the French way of life.

In the past Oliver has worked for and with big names such as HIGH ON FIRE, THE USED and DAVID COVERDALE as well as folk legends such as RAB NOAKES and ALLAN TAYLOR.

Oliver in his own words: "I've been taking photos for years, it's just that initially I didn't realise its true potential as a creative outlet and how well it suited me. Photography is a lot more than just pointing your camera at something and pressing the shutter. Photography is like painting a picture. It's about skill, composition, certain techniques, an understanding of what photography is and a deep rooted passion about the whole thing. I paint with shades and shadows, textures and structures and moods and emotions. I'm obsessed with these things. I generally don't have a lot of time for colour. Colour distracts me. I see the world in black and white. I look at a sunny day in spring and I see its dark and sinister side and that's what my work is all about - the darker side of photography ..."
