Alex Wallace
New Zealand
The basics are pretty simple: Alex takes cool shots that make his clients money. The reality, though, is rarely that tidy. Industrial work sites aren’t designed to look good on camera — they’re built to get the job done. They’re dusty, weathered, noisy, and stubbornly practical. On top of that, they’re usually live environments that won’t bend or pause for the sake of a beautiful photo.
In short, these places don’t exactly roll out the red carpet for photographers. That’s where Alex thrives. He loves the challenge, finds the angles others miss, and somehow makes the chaos look effortless. See for yourself.

Title: Helena Norowicz - Life starts many times
Location: Warsaw, Poland, Karol Tchorek’s sculpture studio
''I met Helena Norowicz - a theatre actress almost 10 years ago. I was just starting my career in fashion photography industry and so was she… I was 22 years old photographer and Helena was 82 years old fashion model. For both of us it was an exciting project. Helena supported me along the way, came to my exhibition later and we started an extraordinary friendship. This year I reconnected with her. She didn’t change at all. I feel blessed to meet someone like her.''

''The title image was created as a teaser visual for the global campaign of the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X, produced in collaboration with the creatives Amadeus Weineck and Matthew Page from the advertising agency The Game.
It served as the teaser for the entire campaign, which included more than 120 assets from out-of-home visuals and social media content to press shots - all produced in collaboration with Sterntag Berlin under an all-in-one production approach.
The winning image was shot on the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain, at a beautiful, rounded house located in the hills. We developed the idea of positioning the car behind movable structures to create intriguing teaser visuals that would introduce the upcoming campaign.''

Title: The Caravaggio Girl
Location: Paris
''Dressed in a knitted Balmain couture piece, she stands at the edge of light, echoing the dramatic chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, where shadow holds as much weight as illumination. Though simple, this portrait became a cornerstone in shaping my photographic style. Elizabeth Wood was the very first model I photographed, and in this image, she entrusted me with embodying her as a modern-day samurai.''

Title: Winged Muse
"Part fantasy, part rebellion, Winged Muse is an ode to the makeup artist as visionary. This piece captures the moment where beauty transcends cosmetics and steps into the realm of storytelling.
With wings delicately painted across the face, the work blurs the line between human and myth, daring the viewer to see makeup not as surface decoration but as a language of transformation. At its core, Winged Muse is a celebration of artistic courage. The wings are more than ornament; they are symbols of freedom, defiance, and creative flight. They whisper to every makeup artist: take risks, push boundaries, and step beyond the predictable.
In this piece, the face becomes both canvas and stage, a space where imagination can unfold without apology. Makeup artistry has always existed at the intersection of beauty and identity, but Winged Muse invites us to consider it as rebellion too. It reminds us that makeup can challenge conventions, shift perceptions, and carry powerful narratives. To paint wings across a face is to declare that there are no limits, only possibilities."

Title: Luminous Solitude
Location: Atlantis Dunes, Western Cape, SA
''Amidst a surreal white desert, a visual narrative of contrasts unfolds: "Divas of Africa" is a black-and-white photography series that captures the strength and grace of Black women in a minimalistic, almost otherworldly setting. Stefan Gröpper’sphotographs merge fashion, physicality, and the raw beauty of nature into a poetic visual language.
The sun carves sharply defined silhouettes, transforming bodies into living sculptures. Flowing fabrics, feathers, and sculptural shapes are not mere embellishments but visual manifestations of power and vulnerability. Fashion becomes both armor and liberation – a delicate interplay between revealing and concealing.
With this series, Stefan Gröpper creates a sensual, timeless interpretation of aesthetics and expression – an encounter between fashion, art, and the pure force of nature. Minimalist yet opulent, raw yet refined. The desert becomes the stage for a new kind of elegance – an elegance that is not only seen but felt.
"Divas of Africa" is more than an aesthetic study. It is a visual ode to femininity, self-determination, and cultural heritage.''

Title: Pink Tubes
Location: Basement Studios
''In this picture I saw an hourglass created by the two tubes. Keeping it simple and letting the product speak for itself. With the help of the light I wanted to create a roughness in the metal to make it a juxtaposition with the smooth calmness of the slow drip créme.
Huge thanks to Ria Del Rosario at Holly Corbett for styling and Parsley Studio for retouching.''
