Advertising, fashion and magazines form his everyday work, but musicians, actors and artists are fond of being portrayed by his unique visual signature. Experimenting with classical portrait photography and modern techniques, Alex produces iridescent-realistic images that have been exhibited to great acclaim on several occasions.

His commercial clients include AXA, BMW, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Post, Evonik, Mitsubishi, Nestlé and Siemens, as well as several fashion brands and publishers.
