Ando Fuchs was born in San Candido and raised in Sexten, located in South Tyrol, northern Italy. After the early death of his parents, he was brought up by a foster family. Today, Ando lives and works in Sillian, Austria, near the Italian border. Despite having no formal education in photography, he has become an accomplished photographer. His knowledge and skills were selftaught, developed over years of passion and dedication.

Ando began his photography journey in 2009, initially exploring various styles without a clear direction. His work was primarily in color and lacked a cohesive concept. However, his first visit to Venice marked a significant turning point. The encounter with the enchanting city profoundly influenced him, leading him to embrace blackandwhite photography, which now defines his artistic identity. The human figure became central to his work, with emotions and storytelling taking precedence over technical perfection.

For Ando, photography is not merely about capturing a flawless image but conveying a narrative and evoking deep emotions in the viewer. His distinctive style and creative vision have garnered international recognition, with his work being cited as a reference in colleges, universities, and photography schools worldwide, including in South Korea, Japan, India, Australia, the USA, Canada, Poland, Portugal, and England.

Ando's guiding philosophy can be summarized in his famous slogan: "Do not ask me with which camera and which lens the picture was taken, but tell me what the picture is able to tell you."
