Nora Schaefer was born in Hattingen, Germany, a small town known for its old stone streets and 17th century architecture set in a picturesque countryside.
Having lived in several countries she was drawn to the west coast of the US with a Master's scholarship to the acclaimed Art Center College of Design in Pasadena where she graduated with an MFA in Photography and Film.
Working in the industry for several years, she has planted roots in the fashion and portrait photography world capturing the nuanced tones of beauty and diversity through a multicultural background of art and architecture.
