ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I often avoid eye contact in the portraits I take. Without eye contact, the whole mood of the image changes – the camera is now simply an "observer" and this is a great opportunity to show a subject in a different way. Because the subject is looking "past" the camera, it introduces an element of the unknown into the photo. There's no way to pinpoint exactly what has captured the person's attention. This unresolved aspect—something mysterious—can create an alluring sort of tension in the photo that allows the viewer to project their own thoughts and assumptions onto the situation and person depicted.

AUTHOR
Alex started out as a multi-genre photographer, but over time he became more and more inspired by the natural beauty of the female form, which was reflected in his beautiful pictures and understated photographic style.

Today, influenced by his personal journey of self-discovery, Alex embraces a much deeper psychological concept of aesthetics and how we personally perceive our own beauty and appearance. Through his photo shoots, Alex collaborates intimately with models strip away many of our programmed and conditioned concepts of manufactured beauty to help expose and capture their true essence and inner beauty within.
