Stadt­porträts. Old Town Alexan­dria, Virginia

Old Town Alexandria hat etwas Zeitloses. Von den sonnengefleckten Backsteingehwegen und Stadthäusern im Kolonialstil bis zu den versteckten Kopfsteinpflastergassen verbindet diese historische Stadt Geschichte und Charme auf ganz eigene Weise.

Als Reise- und Lifestylefotografin konzentriere ich mich in meinem Porträt von Alexandria auf die Architekturdetails und Stimmungen, die die Ästhetik der US-Ostküste ausmachen. Ob die bunte Herbstdekoration entlang der King Street oder die stillen, efeubewachsenen Fassaden historischer Häuser, ich suche die „Seele des Ortes“, die Alexandria für achtsame Reisende zum Sehnsuchtsziel macht.

Diese Bilder sind Teil meiner weltweiten Serie City Portraits, die den Charakter historischer Stadträume mit einem achtsamen, erzählenden Blick dokumentiert.

Ein internationaler Blick. Charme der Ostküste

Auch wenn ein Großteil meiner Arbeit in den Landschaften Europas verwurzelt ist, konnte ich in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, den besonderen Charme der US-Ostküste erkunden.

Die koloniale Architektur und den historischen, baumgesäumten Charakter der King Street einzufangen, war eine Übung darin, die Alte Welt in der Neuen zu finden. Diese Stadtporträts zeigen meine Arbeit als internationale Fotografin, die das Erbe und die Atmosphäre historischer Orte dokumentiert, unabhängig von Grenzen.

Ob mitten in den Alpen oder auf den Backsteinstraßen der USA, mein Blick bleibt auf die Stille und die Geschichte der Welt um uns gerichtet.
