curious. crazy. creative.

Andrea Zehetner, MA

Born in 1988 in St. Magdalena, Linz, Austria, I spent the first ten years of my life jumping around, laughing , daydreaming and watching bugs grow into butterflies. 

In 2000 I started a new life in Vienna, Austria. Never leaving my side was my grandpas Nikon F3 Camera, helping me capture this new world in the big city. 

Almost 20 years and a Bachelor of Arts from the New Design University in St. Pölten and a Masters degree of MultiMediArt from FH Salzburg later, I still take my camera everywhere. 

In September 2014 I started my own Studio for photography and graphic design in Vienna and loved every minute of it ever since.
