Oliver (born September 7, 1970 in Munich, Germany) is a German
Photographer, Physician and Professor of Visual Arts. Currently he lives and works on the Canary Island of La Gomera. His specialty areas are Reportage, Portrait and what has come to be recognized as Street – Photography.
He has become more widely known through numerous features with Reputable Magazines and Publishing Houses e.g.: BBC, ARD, Bertelsmann, Die Zeit, Random House, Merian Magazine and Stern Magazine.
2009 an interview with Oliver Weber has been added to the TWO WAY LENS – project. The list of photographers already included is like a “who’s who” of the contemporary fine art photography scene, like Magnum Photosphotographer Martin Parr or Alec Soth and Amy Stein. Oliver Weber is the first German Photographer who is included in Two Way Lens.
2011 Oliver published his second book ANALOGUE, which was featured by The Camera Club of New York during its photo book fair July 2011.
Weber took part on several “solo” and “group” exhibitions including his work,
like the DOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel, Germany (one of the world’s most important exhibitions for contemporary art), the PHOTOKINA in Cologne, Germany (the world’s largest trade fair for the photographic and imaging industries)
and LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA, Italy (2017).
2015 Oliver received his Professor of Visual Arts at California University.
