Raised in Dresden and shaped by two contrasting social systems in Germany, Kristin Reichelt has lived in the USA and is now based in Austria. After studying chemistry and completing a doctorate, she gained experience in both university teaching and industrial research. Today, her focus lies in teaching.

Careful observation and the search for underlying forces are central to her profession, while exploring the world is her inner drive. In photography, this analytical perspective merges with a keen sensitivity to change, transience, and a beauty that arises through transformation.

Extensive travels to Japan, Africa, Australia, and the Arabian Peninsula have profoundly influenced her awareness of the world's complexity and multiplicity of perspectives.
