Photographer
Jens Krauer
Jens Krauer (b. 1980, Switzerland) is a Swiss photographer known for his atmospheric street photography, particularly his work within the global underground techno scene. His images often capture moments inside nightclubs and music venues, using flash and darkness to isolate figures within crowded, immersive environments.
Krauer’s visual language is defined by high contrast, close proximity, and a strong sense of immediacy. By working within dimly lit spaces, he creates photographs that feel both raw and intimate, revealing the physical and emotional intensity of collective experiences on the dance floor.
His photobook In Between has been widely recognized for its cohesive vision and immersive sequencing, offering a compelling insight into contemporary nightlife culture. For collectors, Krauer’s work stands out for its distinct aesthetic, its documentation of a specific subculture, and its contribution to the evolving language of street photography in the photobook format.
