Ralf Tooten

Bangkok

Ralf Tooten started his career as a still photographer on the sets of Germany’s modern cinema classics such as Oscar-winning 'The Tin Drum' and is the winner of the prestigious Hasselblad Master Award in Goteborg, Sweden in 2003.

He has focused on architecture, portrait and landscape photography throughout his career. For his highly acclaimed 'Eye of Wisdom' project, he travelled for six years to portray the inner realms of spiritual practitioners and leaders around the world, capturing their auras as much as their visions.

As a result, the pharma industry discovered Tooten’s portrait skill and trusted him with a worldwide awareness campaign.
