When it all started.
Oliver Haupt grew up in Cologne. He studied Arts and Photography. Before becoming a photographer, he firstly developed his career as a creative in various advertising agencies. After that he started dedicating to be a sports kids editorial still & motion people lifestyle advertising photographer.
Why Oliver’s work is highly varied?
What Oliver moves above all is his love to record life. He works for known brands and small clients and on his personal projects. He is above all working as a sports kids editorial still & motion people lifestyle advertising photographer. His commercial work is very much inspired by his own personal artistic projects. He calls the artistic work sketches for undone images.
The highly varied and original body of work covers a wide range of themes and subjects, from natural works to highly stylized and aesthetically complex pieces. Above all always commune is the high standard of quality and his perfection even in the imperfection.
The interview about this is firstly published in Art Jobs.
He comments on this spread of different work: ¨If I would only shoot natural and sensitive children photos, it would lose the depth behind. Life has a lot of contrast and it is certainly too fascinating to limit yourself on one area. What applies personally for me is certainly true for my pictures. I am sure that my thrill for a 2nd world war jet makes my sensitive children shots even more sensitive. And vice versa.¨ The magazine Art Jobs published Oliver’s interview about this.
Many times international and national juries selected and awarded Oliver’s work.
