As a photographer, Alex has been working in editorial, portrait, and documentary photography since 2018. He is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Photography Studies and Practice at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, aiming to further develop and professionalize his artistic work both visually and theoretically. In the summer of 2025, he completed his Bachelor's degree in Photography and Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich. Before moving to Munich in 2021, he worked as a freelance photographer in Freiburg for three years.

His passion for photography began with an interest in mountain biking and mountaineering, which led him to document his travels and adventures. Staying true to these roots, nature and the mountains continue to inspire both his personal and commissioned work. His artistic journey explores personal questions of heritage and identity, as well as the perception of space and the people who inhabit it — viewed through a distanced yet empathetic lens. He is deeply drawn to compelling stories paired with atmospheric image compositions, conveyed through an honest and open approach.
