Alexander Ziegler wurde 1987 als exzentrischer Träumer, Visionär & unermüdlicher Fragensteller in Berlin Köpenick geboren. Von den wilden Umbruchsjahren der Deutschen Wiedervereinigung und die Generation Praktikum geprägt, hat er nach vielen Irrwegen schließlich seine Berufung als freier Fotojournalist und internationaler Hochzeitsfotograf gefunden.
Er studiert z.Z. Reportage- & Dokumentarfotografie an der Hochschule Hannover um seinen Fokus auf die kleinen und großen Geschichten dieser Welt zu legen, die ihm persönlich von großem Wert sind. Mit viel Interesse, Respekt und der nötigen Zeit versucht er stets seinen eigenen menschlichen & journalistischen Standpunkt zu festigen.
„Reisen veredelt wunderbar den Geist und räumt mit all unseren Vorurteilen auf.“ (Oscar Wilde)
