ABOUT ME

WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE, I AM SEBASTIAN RAABE, A BERLIN BASED PHOTOGRAPHER SPECIALIZED IN DAYTIME LONG EXPOSURES. BORN IN 1983, RAISED IN A SMALL TOWN IN SAXONY, I STARTED MY PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY IN 2014. STRUGGLING TO FIND MY STYLE AT FIRST, I SHORTLY AFTER REALIZED THAT LONG EXPOSURES COULD BE THE WAY I WANT TO EXPRESS MYSELF. COMBINED WITH A MINIMALISTIC APPROACH, I FOUND MY PERSONAL WAY IN PHOTOGRAPHY. I LOVE TO USE LONG EXPOSURES FOR CREATING A SURREAL ATMOSPHERE IN MY IMAGES. CITIES AND LANDSCAPES WITH DEEP HANGING CLOUDS OR IN THICK FOG ARE MY DRIVE TO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING AND ENJOY THE CALMNESS. I STILL SEE PHOTOGRAPHY AS A HOBBY, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HELPING ME TO GROW IN ALL THE TOPICS AROUND WITH NO PRESSURE AND KEEPING MY CURIOSITY. TO EXPAND MY KNOWLEDGE, I VISITED WORKSHOPS OF NOEL CLEGG AND RONNY BEHNERT.
