Sandra Buschow
Sandra Buschow is a photographer, photo editor and lecturer based in Berlin and Switzerland.
Her work spans intimate portrait photography and autobiographical image-making, exploring the body,
memory and transgenerational experience, known for saturated colour, painterly light and a slow,
intuitive process shaped by chance and encounter.
