The Palace of the Parliament, White Night Festival, Romania 2008

I am a 25 year old Scottish photographer obsessed with the rückenfigur in the landscape. I exhibit widely and regularly. I have shown work at solo exhibitions at The Scottish Parliament as well as group shows at the European Parliament in Brussels, and the Palace of the Parliament in Romania where my work was shown as 84 metre high projections.

My clients have included book publishers, record companies and the Scottish Government amongst others.

I have a news and photography blog here.

John Dera says:

"Alex can easily engage us with his wonderful photographic interpretations. There is a magical visual quality to many of his images.
His sonnets are brilliant leading the viewer into the scene but never detracting from the power of the landscape. His style is unique taking his
photography into an art form of expression."

[Andreas] says:

"It is an incredible opportunity to witness the evolution of a rising photographer’s body of works, the creation of new projects, development of a personal style and vision here on Flickr. Alex’s photos, especially from his series “Sonnets from Scotland” and animated film “Die Hasenjagd” demonstrate his talent and sense of visual communication with a minimalist range of props that thus become even more powerful symbols of the photos’ underlying concepts. I am delighted that Alex’s work is shown to a wider audience outside of Flickr in exhibitions, on CD covers, projections and books. I would urge you to attend Alex exhibitions, if you have the opportunity to do so, because his photos look even better as prints than on the screen since they are beautifully printed and framed.

Besides Alex is a very kind, helpful friend! I am very glad to have had the chance to get to know him better as a person and learn about the thoughts that drive his photographic projects."

"Alex has a keen eye for an amazing composition. He is a man with a vision, and he always maintains his ability to create stunning and thought-provoking work. His portraits have a haunting beauty that reaches far beyond the ordinary. I continue to look foward to seeing more work from this talented man."
