Oliver Weber & the Canary Islands

Set & Drift recently crossed paths with Oliver Weber, a German photographer and doctor who resides in the Spanish town of La Gomera in the Canary Islands.

In this fast paced world that we live in, we were intrigued not only by his perspectives on the importance of slowing the pace of his creative process but also his ability and desire to merge his vocation and creative pursuits.

It is the pleasure of Set & Drift to publish this interview with Oliver, we hope you enjoy his images and insight.
