Meet Alex, a Director of Photography and Producer based in Oakland, CA.
My journey in visual storytelling began in Southern California at the Brooks Institute of Photography. In 2011, I started accumulating hours toward joining Local 600, working as a focus puller and still photographer on various feature films and TV series. A pivotal moment came when Valhalla Entertainment—the production company behind The Walking Dead—recruited me as a still photographer for a Native American documentary filmed in San Francisco. This project brought me to the Bay Area, and I’ve proudly called it home ever since.
My work has been featured in prestigious publications like The New York Times. I’ve also had the opportunity to produce commercials for Embark, a leader in AI self-driving truck technology, and collaborate with a variety of prominent tech and product brands.
