Alexander Binder

Bio:

I was born 1976 in the Black Forest in the southwest of Germany and I started photography as a teenager. Inspired by the possibilities of my first plastic-camera and the pure, natural surroundings of my parents home I began to discover my environment as a photographic autodidact. I hold a degree in economics and attended several design- and photo-related courses at university ? but I have no formal education in terms of photography. Currently I earn my living in an advertising agency which gives me the freedom to work without any pressure on my photo projects. (alexanderbinder.de)
