Oliver Helbig

grew up in the village of Eutin on the northern coast of Germany. He developed a sensibility for nature that still permeates the dampened sentimentality of his images. After studying at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, where he was awarded the Alfred Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundations contemporary photography scholarship for Us and Them, a thesis work later to make it in the pages of 032c Magazine, he settled in Berlin where he still lives and works. The cool, detached melancholy that pervades his depictions of nature scenery, architecture and portraits has been a trademark of Olivers photography ever since and has made him a valued editorial contributor to 

Magazines such as 032c, AD, Dazed and Confused, Pin-Up, Vanity Fair and Another Man. Widely exhibited in Germany, his work was featured at Andre Schlechtriem Temporary in NYC and the Goethe Institut in Tokyo, among others. Commercial clients include BASF, Deutsche Bahn, Allianz and Microsoft ...
