Raffael Waldner, born in Basel with jenisch roots, studied photography in Leipzig and Zurich. His works have been shown in numerous exhibitions worldwide. He was part of the 'Regeneration 50 Photographers of Tomorrow' project and has published several books. Fascinated by photography located at the interface of the artistic and documentary genres, he is interested in the investigations of living conditions, places and everyday objects and the values they convey. He is focusing on his personal work and commissions for corporate, industrial, editorial and portrait clients in Switzerland and abroad and teaches photography at the HKB, Hochschule der Künste Bern and F+F, Schule für Kunst und Design Zürich. Raffael Waldner is co-owner of the 13Photo agency in Zurich, today the largest photographer agency in Switzerland with over 50 members.
