Alex Lobo's photostream  

I was born in Madrid 29 years ago. I studied Media Direction and, when I obtained my degree I only found a job in the media area for three (very happy and satisfactory) months, then I spent two years working as an operator. During that time I made my first short film, "In front of the mirror" (2005). Tired of my working and -especially- personal situation, I decided to do a 180 degree turn over my life and moved to London, where I have been working as a hotel porter since two years ago. It was the decision of a lifetime: the day I left Spain I was born again.

With the money from my first payment as a hotel porter I bought a £40 camera, which introduced me to photography. A few months later I decided to upgrade to a hybrid Fuji FinePix. My photostream can tell you the rest of the story better than I can.

I have made two short films in this city: The dreaming artist (2006) and Two Scars (2007). I wrote, directed and edited both of them on my own, without any assistant. I sent "The Dreaming Artist" to some film festivals, but I didn't succeed. Hopefully, I’ll have better luck with “Two Scars”. I think it deserves it.
