ABOUT ME

Alexandra Thannhäuser

Profil_Neu.jpg

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.»
