Born 26 July 1973 in Danzig, married and father of 2 children. Oliver Schwarzwald began his career in photography working for Danish photographer Mads Madsen. “My years in training with Mads had a huge influence on my work. He taught me how to work creatively - both behind and in front of the camera lens,” recalls Oliver, who has been working as a freelance photographer since 1996. As a direct result of this method of photography, he focused his career on still life and food, bringing together two of his particular penchants. “As a young lad, I loved cooking. When I realised I could combine cooking and photography, it was something of a revelation,” he says. Several freelance assistance jobs followed for still life and food photographers. And with his feet firmly in the business, advertising shootings followed for various clients and for an ever greater range of products. If there’s one thing that’s important to Oliver, it’s variety. His topics and style can best be described as lavish and luxurious sometimes, and very straightforward and reduced in other instances. In short, Oliver Schwarzwald is a versatile photographer whose work takes advantage of a wide array of inspirations and influences to focus on what counts.
