Rainer Häckl
People, Sport and Cars Photographers
Rainer is a professional photographer based in Munich. He loves to follow his passions - people, sports and cars. These topics not only make his heart pound but also send his creativity into overdrive.
"This time I went on a road trip. Travelling through the Alps with a friend who can tell stories. In a fantastic car. A car that is the star in some of his stories. It was late in September. It felt like summer. Then the sun went down. And all of a sudden you could sense that ‘winter is coming.’ But that is a different story."
Rainer started his career as a graphic designer and art director. His love for pictures made him pick up a camera one day and he never put it back down. Now his old life in graphics and his new life in photography give him a deeper understanding into what his clients really need.
Among his clients are global and local companies, agencies, athletes and artists from all over Europe.
