Alex Batista Sao Paulo photographers

Alex Batista was born in Sao Paulo in 1985. Specialising in portrait photography, his work is marked by lightness and a delicate look that can be seen in his editorial essays and advertising photography.

Alex began his career as an assistant working for top Brazilian photographers Gustavo Zylberstajn and Marcio Simnch, before proceeding to assist Danish photographer Steen Sundland. In 2010, he started shooting on his own.

In the early years of his career, he worked with marquee Brazilian clients such as O Boticário, Natura and C&A and contributed to magazines including GQ Brasil, Playboy Brasil, Trip and TPM.

In 2012, Alex shot his first two assignments for Nike with global soccer superstar Neymar Jr. - his first international work with global media.
