Andrea Diefenbach (born 1974) is a German documentary photographer. [1] She has made work about people in Ukraine and Moldova. In 2024, Diefenbach received the Dr. Erich Salomon Award from the German Society for Photography.
Diefenbach was born in Wiesbaden. [2] She graduated from Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and Arts in 2006. [3]
Her photobook Aids in Odessa (2008) is about the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Odessa, Ukraine. It was described in Dazed as containing "intimate moments of solitude, despair and hope". It includes a short introduction by each subject about how they contracted HIV. [4] For the photobook Land ohne Eltern (land without parents, 2012), for nearly a decade, Diefenbach followed the lives of Moldovan labor migrants in Italy and their families, particularly children, who remained in Moldova. [5] [6] Realitatea (Reality, 2022) combines more photographs from Moldova—a country grappling with an identity crisis since gaining independence 30 years ago—with facsimiles of Moldovan newspapers and texts relating to political events of the previous ten years. [2]
Diefenbach is based in Wiesbaden. [1]
