In the cathedral school he received drawing lessons from the portrait painter Gustav Wilhelm Rosenberg (1809–1873). In 1856 he began to study painting at the Imperial Art Academy in Saint Petersburg , where he specialized in landscape painting in the studio of Socrat Maximowitsch Vorobjow (1817-1888). Together with his friend Iwan Iwanowitsch Schischkin he went on study trips. He finished his studies with several awards.
He then became a drawing teacher at the Mitau secondary school . During this time he began to work with photography . In 1874 he took part in the International Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures in Dublin with the painting Forest after the Storm . For this he was awarded a silver medal. In 1875 he quit teaching and went to Düsseldorf , where he was instructed by Eugen Dücker in landscape painting at the Düsseldorf School . In 1876 Fedders took the position of a drawing teacher at a school in Belgorod , where he worked for the next ten years. From 1889 to 1898 he taught at the St. Petersburg Business School. In 1880 the Petersburg Academy made him a full member. In 1905 Fedders moved to his son Georg in Nischyn. There he died of an infection after undergoing bladder surgery in August 1908.
