about
Alex is a filmmaker and photographer based in London, with a passion for people, light and storytelling.
His journey began with photography, finding that he had an eye for compelling composition and a desire to capture fleeting moments. Having worked with many music artists as a stills photographer, the migration towards moving images happened quite organically, taking his earliest steps by making music videos.
His skillset grew into a more varied creative practice, leading Alex to establish BoxingZebra, his own production company. Here he found the freedom to explore new ideas and bring a wider variety of visual stories to life.
Over the last fifteen years, Alex has developed and delivered projects for a diverse range of clients, both large and small. These include Bloomberg, Vice, Unilever, Pulse Films, Virgin Active and Jaeger.
Fuelled by curiosity, he is interested in the details that others might miss, the unexpected moments that reveal something real, and the character and individuality behind every story. Alex combines a photographer’s eye with a filmmaker’s instinct for movement, atmosphere and light – bringing a thoughtful, meticulous and visually driven approach to every project.
Because every person has a story. The interesting part is finding the way to tell it.
