Gudula Röttger was born in 1966 in Germany and is based in Heidelberg, Germany.
Influenced by her family she started with photography at the age of 6 years.
After studying to become a teacher in sociology, politics, economics and German studies, she decided to become self-employed. The perfect balance for this activity is traveling and photography. Photography sharpens the senses and builds bridges to foreign people and cultures, but also sharpens the view of one's own environment and social structures. As a result, she decided to focus on street photography in 2020.
Her photography often focuses on detailed compositions and layering, with a strong use of colors and a special emphasis on the play of light and shadow. With her series Bits and Pieces, she captures the vibrant diversity and pulsating chaos of the streets of Istanbul.
This project was published in “The Theatre of Real Life Vol. 24” by the “Lichtblick School”. In 2024, she was named a finalist in the “Streets of the World” competition at the Rome Photo Lab, and her work was exhibited during the Rome Photo Festival.
Additionally, one of her photographs was selected as an Editor's Pick in the
@theindependentphoto Street Photo Awards. In 2025 she participated in a group exhibition “Seen By Her” in Jakarta.
