Till 1 March 2008 the gallery at »Camera Work« shows photographies of Jim Rakete. The photographer became famous with his photos of stars from the music scene. Already at the age of 17 he photographed people like Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, Mick Jagger or David Bowie. He was – not only as a photographer but also as a producer and manager – engaged in the movement of »Neue Deutsche Welle« and worked with artists like Nena, Die Ärzte or Nina Hagen.

After his excurse in the music scene he’s now back in Berlin and goes on portraiting celebreties from music and movies. Seems he also got some interest in shooting rabbits (the picture was sent to ROGER by Jim Rakete’s agency).
