Fiona Cuypers-Stanienda (b. 1992) is a Swiss-German-American social documentary photographer specializing in analogue photography. Her work explores the relationship between people and architectural spaces, treating them as equal forces in shaping identity and experience. Influenced by her architectural background, Fiona’s images delve into the quiet but profound connections between humans and their built environments, capturing the nuances that make each space uniquely meaningful.

Fiona holds a Master in Architecture (MArch) and AA Diploma from the Architectural Association in London, with additional studies at ETH Zurich and the University of the Arts Berlin. Her work has been featured in Architect’s Journal, Wallpaper, and REAL and exhibited at venues including the AA Bookshop in London and the British School at Rome.

Fiona is the founder of the Terrace Collective, an interdisciplinary group bridging art and architecture through exhibitions and events that foster dialogue and collaboration. She is also a partner at the Radical Research & Re-storying Agency (RRA), where she reimagines architectural narratives, asking how the pre-colonial past can inform a decolonial future.

Fiona is available for commissions, collaborations, and limited-edition print sales. To learn more, please get in touch.
