Live and act

Draber learned his trade between 1903 and 1906 in his hometown Brandenburg. From 1906 to 1911 he worked as a portrait photographer, from April 1, 1911 until the outbreak of war in 1914 he was in the service of the Deutsche Bioskop-Vitaskop. During the First World War, Draber was deployed as an aviator at the front and was most recently (1918) head of the image department (aerial film command in the west). In 1919 he went to the Geyer-Werke photography company .

In 1924 Draber began working regularly as a still photographer for film and initially photographed Henny Porten several times . He carried out this activity until 1942. Then (1942/43) he was allowed to work once as a cameraman for a movie. It would be his last cinematic activity. In 1945 he fell into the hands of the Red Army and was interned in the Soviet special camp in Sachsenhausen , where he died in 1947 under the catastrophic conditions of detention.
