ABOUT ME
Alexandra Thannhäuser
With a background in architecture my passion for photography is strongly intertwined with the beauty of symmetry, lines and shapes that define a buildings architectural design. In combination with reflections, it bridges the boundaries of two separate worlds, connecting them to create a captivating third. It is the moment that the at first imperceptible image gains visuality that I find so exciting and fascinating as it opens up a whole new story.
Today photography is a way for me to slow down, observe my surroundings with awareness and find beauty in the simplest of moments – it has become a passion that consumes me every day.
In the future I am excited to venture into other fields of photography as it unfolds new perspectives and creative exploration.
«WHEN I HEAD OUT WITH MY CAMERA, I AM TRULY MYSELF.»

Street Photo Masters 2025
Street Photo Masters is a compelling tribute to the art of observation and the pulse of everyday life. Each image captures the raw poetry of the streets, where light, movement, and emotion intersect, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary. Through this curated collection, we honor the masters who navigate chaos and calm with equal grace, turning the spontaneous into art and the unnoticed into unforgettable.
