Alexandra Suchan

Alexandra Suchan, born in Sankt Augustin in 2002, began capturing special moments with her mother’s digital camera when she was just a child. Her second great passion is travel: During her school years, she participated in several exchange programs and, at age 15, spent a year abroad on a farm in Canada. After graduating from high school, she headed to Australia, where she worked as a construction worker in Tasmania—always with her camera in hand. Today, she knows that she wants to work professionally with a camera, preferably in nature and with animals.
