Alan Schaller

*1988, England

Alan Schaller is a London based photographer who specialises in black and white photography. His work is often abstract and incorporates surrealism, geometry, high contrast and the realities and diversities of human life.

Publications who have featured his work include The Guardian, The New York Times T Magazine, The Washington Post, The Financial Times, South China Morning Post, Time Out and The Independent. Alan regularly has exhibitions, showing recently at the Saatchi Gallery, The Leica Galleries in London, Boston, Washington D.C., The Edit Space in Milan, and The Leica Galleries in Sydney & Melbourne.

Brands he has worked with include Apple, Philips, Huawei, Union Coffee, Kew Gardens, Nokia, Huntsman of Savile Row and London Fashion week. He is an ambassador for Leica Cameras. 

He co-founded the Street Photography International Collective (SPi). It was set up to promote the best work in the genre, and to give a platform to talented yet unrepresented photographers. Today the SPi Instagram account is the largest dedicated street photography resource in the world with over 900,000 followers. Each month SPi has 14 million visits and receives over 100,000 image submissions.

Asides from photography, Alan has written articles for the Independent focusing on humanitarian issues.

In August 2019, the Leica Gallery Frankfurt will show his work in the exhibition "Metropolis" and there will also be a workshop with Alan Schaller.
