We are Scanderbeg Sauer, an industrial and corporate photography studio based near Zurich. Since 2005, Andreana Scanderbeg and Alexander Sauer have worked as a team: photography, CGI, video and postproduction on one side; consulting, production direction and project management on the other. We work in factories, laboratories, workshops and offices as much as on construction sites, airport runways or in the mountains. One studio, with you from the first brief to final delivery.
An assignment starts long before the first frame. We work out what the images are needed for, what they may show and how the day on site has to run so that operations carry on. None of that shows in the finished image.
Our clients are companies and agencies of every size, in Switzerland, Germany and internationally. Projects range from a few hours on site to complex commissions across several locations. Some clients hand us the entire production. Others have an in-house team and book us specifically for the visual work. On some projects the visual concept is already in place, on others we develop it together with you.
We are curious to hear what you are working on. Perhaps you already have a finished brief, or perhaps your idea is only just taking shape. Either way, it is a good moment to get in touch. First we want to understand what matters to you. Depending on the project, you then talk directly to Alexander, to Andreana or to both of us. Write to us or give us a call.

Andreana Scanderbeg
Consulting & Production
At Scanderbeg Sauer, Andreana Scanderbeg is responsible for consulting, production and project management. She guides every project from the first contact to final delivery: budgets, schedules, locations, crews and communication with clients. Her productions have taken her to almost every continent, to places and environments that keep making new demands. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Switzerland, she now lives and works near Zurich. She speaks German, English and French.
Alexander Sauer
Photography, CGI & Video
Alexander Sauer is responsible for all visual work at Scanderbeg Sauer, from photography and CGI to video and postproduction. He also advises on the image concept and the visual approach. His work is driven by a deep curiosity about what happens in front of the lens: processes, machines, the people who operate them and the environments they work in. He has been a professional photographer for more than thirty years, more than twenty of them at Scanderbeg Sauer. Born in Frankfurt and raised in Munich, he now lives and works near Zurich. He speaks German and English.
