About me

Hello! My name is Alex, and I am a creative photographer.
I'm good shooting events, people, concerts and editorial lifestyle. Born in Spain, studied several professional photography courses before I moved to London in 2011 where I was Freelancing until I moved to Tokyo in April 2015. I shoot on whatever medium I can use to take photos, such a Full Frame DSLR, an iPhone or 35mm toy cameras. I also publish on a personal project called State of Tokyo.
