PHOTOREVIEW
ALEXANDER SCHÖNBERG
Alexander Schönberg was born in 1979 in Orenburg (Russia), is the second son in a German
family. In 1994, his family moved to Germany, and since 2000, Alexander lives in
Hamburg.
In my childhood I discovered an interest in painting and music. From the youthful age for
fifteen years he was engaged in music and later writing lyrics, until in October 2015 he
came to a photo on the doctor’s recommendation “just to walk more”. After an hour he held
his first camera in his hands.
- Thanks to photography, I had the opportunity to capture my personal point of view on the
scenes and objects of everyday life, so she quickly became the medium of my communication
with the world.
- It became necessary for me to convey my feelings and ideas through my photos to other
people. The very process of photographing, as well as the variety of reviews for individual
works, are for me the most attractive aspect of my work.
- I do not like to work in a certain style and do not limit myself in my work, but think a lot
more in projects, trying to make my pictures as timeless as possible. So it was in the last 2
years, among other things, a project of mine to bring the most beautiful bridges in Hamburg
to an illustrated book, currently there is only one copy of this book “The Bridges of Hamburg”
at whitewall store in Hamburg to win, what then I do not know yet. Another project is
called “smoking [f] aces” and deals with the theme of a portrait with cool, smoking people
on it, and beyond that, I love to portray the children. I enjoy working with people and people
usually play a central role in my work, it is important for me that a model has character
and charisma and does not necessarily look nice. I love to travel and of course, my camera
should not be missing, trying to keep the street scenes of everyday life.
