Oliver Baer

Fotograf, Arbon, 1988

I was born in Switzerland in 1988. I spent most of my childhood in an idyllic fishing village called Villigen, which is located in the canton of Aargau. At the age of 15 I started an apprenticeship as an office worker, which I decided to discontinue after a short time because it was simply not enough creative for me. Afterwards I worked part-time within different industries such as catering or construction.During school time I discovered my passion for photography. I see the world as a playground of which is perception differs on the individual perspective.Nevertheless, my real passion, reporting photography, evolved over the last years. I like to capture wonderful and breathtaking moments, which show individuals, feelings and the corresponding atmosphere. My goal is to seize those impressions. I see myself as a photographer who is able to transfer a message without any words.
