Biography

Weber is a portrait and fashion photographer, based in London. He was born in Ulm, West Germany in 1964 and studied photography at Istituto Europeo di Design and Istituto Superiore di Fotografia in Rome from 1984 to 1986. He moved to London in 1986.

Weber has worked for notable publications such as The Times Magazine, Tatler,[1] Elle, Vogue and Mixmag amongst others. He has photographed a number of celebrities including Sting, Kylie Minogue, Daniel Radcliffe, Damian Lewis, Stephen Fry, Helena Bonham Carter, Zara Phillips, Mark Strong and many more.[2] He has also worked for clients such as Ferrari, Liberty, Jack Wolfskin, Audi, Marks and Spencers and many more.

His first published book was ‘Portraits’ by Skira, a monograph surveying 20 years of celebrity portraits, which was exhibited in London,[3] New York,[4][5] and Milan. Weber spent four days in 2012 and 2013 at Goodwood for his second book, Goodwood Revival.[6] Which celebrates the magic of the world's largest historic motor racing and vintage lifestyle event, held at the Goodwood Motor Circuit in South England. The photographs from his book were later exhibited in London, Milan and Lecce and won the Communication Arts for best Photobook in 2015.[7] Weber's latest book 'The Allure of Horses' published by Assouline in Autumn 2018. This title takes readers on a "unique examination of the close relationship between humans and horses, this title takes readers on a journey across equine communities—from the steeplechase to the Changing of the Guard by the Household Cavalry to the thrill of the polo field to side-saddle riding through the countryside on a warm summer’s eve."[8] 'The Allure of Horses' has been exhibited in London, in the Grande Salle of Maison Assouline.[9]

He received a Hasselblad Masters Award in 2006,[10]
