August Sander (November 17, 1876 – April 20, 1964) was a German photographer.
Sander was the son of a carpenter working in the mining industry. While working at a local mine, Sander first learned about photography by assisting a photographer who was working for the mining company. With financial support from his uncle he acquired photographic equipment and set up his own darkroom. He spent his military service (1897 – 1899) as a photographer's assistant, and the next years wandering across Germany. In 1901 he started working for a photo studio in Graz, eventually becoming a partner (1902) and then its sole proprietor (1904). He left Graz in 1910 and set up a new studio in Cologne.
In the early 1920s Sander joined the "Group of Progressive Artists" in Cologne and began plans to document contemporary society in a portrait series. In 1927 Sander and writer Ludwig Marthar traveled through Sardinia for three months, where he took around 500 photographs. However, a planned book detailing his travels was not completed.
