"Peter Bialobrzeski, born 1961 in Wolfsburg, West Germany, is a photographer and a professor of photography at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany.
Bialobrzeski originally studied politics and sociology in Germany before he studied photography at University of Essen and at the London College of Printing (now University of the Arts London).
Bialobrzeski's photographs have been published in many magazines, and he has worked for corporate clients such as Daimler-Chrysler, Philip Morris, Siemens, and Volkswagen. He taught as a visiting professor at the University of Essen before he was appointed in 2002 as a professor for photography at the University of the Arts Bremen.
Bialobrzeski is perhaps best known for his exhibit Neon Tigers, photos of ballooning metropolises in Asia.
He won several awards including the World Press Photo Award 2003 and 2010 and published eight books."
