Rainer Maria Schopp captured life in Berlin, across Europe, and in the United States through often poetic and quietly observational images. He studied graphic design at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin from 1969-74, and from 1976 worked as a freelance photographer. In 1978, he joined the printing workshop of the Berufsverband Bildender Künstler (BBK) at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien; his promising career was cut short by his tragic death at the age of 47.
