Reiner Borner, artist, passionate about photography, born 1955 in Munich. I have been involved in photography since my early youth. First I photographed analogue with an old Porst camera of my father, then followed analogue Canon AE1, the classic and Nikon cameras. Then I worked digitally with Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic and Olympus. I tried many system cameras until I found my own style. My main fields are animal portraits, people, urban and abstract photography. Black and white photography is a special challenge for me. Photo exhibitions in Munich: With Tierparkfreunde exhibition at the Species Conservation Centre of the Hellabrunn Zoo, Cafe Limulus/Museum Mensch und Natur Nymphenburg in Munich, Galerie Borstei in Munich. On the side I am a book author and dialect writer and do readings. In 2021 I published my animal illustrated book: Wenn Flamingos träumen. Animal portraits of a special kind.
