About me

Alex has been a photographer and lighting director for more than 20 years. He specialised in lighting for stills before moving into moving image.
He started by shooting numerous fashion films and documentaries before shifting into scripted drama. Sitting Pretty (dir. Alex Osman) is the first of four shorts he completed in 2019,and is doing the festival circuit right now. The other three are currently in post.
His first venture into documentaries was with Photographer/Director Ophelia Wynne with whom he shot a series of short films about the rise of skater girls for i-D magazine. This led to working in collaboration with Production Factory for clients such as New Look and Puma.
One of his latest projects was a campaign piece in the Camargue, South of France with Photographer/Director Julia Bostock for Liberty London on French cowgirls and cowboys.
Though interested in all genres and forms of filmmaking, Alex has a particular predilection for documentary film and photography, especially when delving into the themes of identity and the ego.
