After studying business administration in Vienna, she trained as a photographer and videographer at the College for Photography and Audiovisual Media at Grafische XIV Vienna from 2000 onwards, followed by a master's degree in image science at Danube University Krems. During her master's thesis, she worked on journalistic war photography. 

Focussing on aesthetic change and visual communication of conflicts through photography, her thesis proved to be particularly valuable for her photographic work, among other things for the further development of her own visual language. 

Brigitte has been self-employed since 2006. Leveraging her extensive experience, she has also worked as a lecturer in adult education (dipl. adult trainer) in Vienna and Zurich. 

The passion to produce and work with pictures becomes stronger every year. Because a photograph is more than an image. It can inform, emotionalize and manipulate.
