For two decades, Alex has developed a body of photography that, spanning portraiture and still life, relays the uncanny entwinement of all earthly life. He began his career specializing in portrait photography across the arts and cultural sector where he has portrayed artists and creatives such as Olafur Eliasson, James Cameron, Natalie Portman, and Morgan Freeman for leading international publications. Since opening his studio in Berlin in 2012, he has shifted from commissioned work to focus on his artistic practice, which has led to his work being shown in group exhibitions in Berlin and Vienna.

Through his photography, Alex prompts viewers to reconsider their perceptions and embrace a sense of connection to all living beings. 2020 marked Alex’s first trip to Terra Alta, Portugal, where he began studying permaculture, a design system for creating sustainable human environments, based on close observations of natural systems.

A selected constellation of recent photographs, ‘On Earth’ casts a dappled light over the complexity and interconnectedness of natural worlds. Presenting allegorical portraits, imagery of unique ecosystems and still lifes. the new images use careful attention to symbolism, composition, and an often psychedelic deployment of colour, to afford the viewer an experience of nature verging on the numinous – a spiritual encounter with nature.
