Alex began life studying and working as an architect. But he found himself drawn to the stories which pictures can tell. It wasn’t long before he turned a life-long love of photography into a satisfying career. With over a decade of professional experience and a special passion for portraits, live events and covering humanitarian work (especially that of charities and NGOs), he was drawn to people: the stories their lives and work tell. As a Christian he was especially interested in the ways in which the teachings of Jesus were being fulfilled by organisations across the world.

His work as photographer and videographer has taken him across the globe and it’s always a thrill discovering and documenting new places as well as capturing new faces. While he is based in England, his travels to places like India, Thailand, Afghanistan, South Africa, Iran, Singapore, Europe and others meant that he never complained of boring work.

His clients have included Christian Aid, Tearfund, Oxfam, Greenbelt, The Archbishop of Canterbury, BMS World Mission, The Bible Society, and many more.
