Photography is where intuition meets craft and becomes emotion.
It is that philosophy which has enabled Alex to live and work in cities like Los Angeles, Paris, London and New York.
Having attended an animation academy in his youth, and studied filmmaking at NYU, the camera was always within reach, as was his desire to articulate images of boldness and brightness. Shooting hospitality and food, Alex has shot countless restaurants, bars, and hotels in both stills and motion.
Prior to shooting food, Alex was photographing interiors, events and portraits. One of his first shoots in the food & beverage industry was covering the opening of L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon for Eater NY, and when he was tasked to photograph the chef himself, he spat out some high-school French which somehow impressed him and his team and earned him a week-long project following Chef Robuchon around and capturing the grand opening of the restaurant.
Alex has been featured in Architectural Digest, Eater, Elle Decor, Food & Wine Magazine, The Infatuation, The Michelin Guide, The New York Times and Vogue.
