I’m Alessa Grande – artist, observer, and quiet rebel with a camera.

​

My love for photography began on a trip, when my father handed me his camera. Something clicked – not just the shutter, but something in me. I became fascinated by the way a single image can tell the truth, gently but powerfully. Since then, photography has become my way of seeing and connecting with the world.

​

I started exhibiting my work in 2019. Since then, my photographs have been shown in Milan, New York, Paris and London – a journey that continues to remind me how universal the language of vulnerability and raw beauty can be.

​

I’m based in Salzburg, Austria, and I mainly work outdoors, in natural light and natural settings. I photograph people in intimate, honest moments – often nude. My camera is my tool to dive deeper into humanity. I’m interested in who you are beneath the surface, in the space where you don’t have to perform. That’s where the magic is.

​

A defining moment in my life came when I was 25. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness (ulcerative colitis) and the prognosis was tough – lifelong medication, possibly surgery. But I made a decision: to heal myself, from the inside out. I stopped all medication and went on a journey back to myself. It was hard. It was beautiful. And it showed me just how powerful we really are and that everything is possible. That experience taught me to trust myself fully – and now, that trust runs through everything I create.

​

My work is about vulnerability. About closeness. About the quiet power of being exactly who you are. I believe photography can be healing – a space where you are seen without judgment, and where you can see yourself with kindness.

​

I’m a calm, intuitive soul with a wild edge. When an idea strikes, I follow it – no hesitation. Creativity isn’t a job for me, it’s a way of being, it's my life.

​

I love collaborating with humans, brands and companies who are seeking a fresh, distinctive perspective. If you're looking for photography that offers a unique vision and makes a lasting impression, we could be the perfect match.
