At the age of eleven he became a choir singer in the Windsbach boys' choir . After finishing school, Fuchs began an apprenticeship as a photographer. He then worked as an advertising photographer in Nuremberg . He completed his studies at the Bavarian State College for Photography in Munich , where he graduated as the best in his year. He was awarded a gold medal for this by the Mayor of Munich, Hans-Jochen Vogel .

In 1971 he was appointed to be a lecturer in photography at the University of Applied Sciences in Mannheim. In 1978 he founded his first photo studio in Mannheim. In 1981 he became a member of the Association of Freelance Photo Designers (BFF) and from then on worked for both German and international advertising agencies. He moved his studio to Frankfurt am Main . In Frankfurt he had a close friendship with his former student, the photographer Michael Ehrhart, the designer Thomas Feicht, the designer Tim Johl and the Dutch design promoter Jan Teunen.

In 1993 Fuchs moved to Palma , where he mainly works as a photographer for Spanish interior design magazines and the German magazine Merian . In addition, he dealt musically with flamenco and played for three years as a flautist with the guitarist Benjamin "El Habichuela". From 2001 he lived in Valencia and Cádiz for a few years .
