Who is this?

Hey, I'm Alec, a dedicated visual creative

What lead me to be a photographer?

I work in the medical field as a CNA and I’m also a Pre-Med student. Despite my demanding schedule, I have always had a creative outlet to balance my busy lifestyle. Photography became the perfect craft. Something I can do every day or be ready to do so, having this has expanded my overall experience with the world, which in turn allows me to connect with people on a deeper level while at first was a therapeutic tool, is now a craft that has sparked a burning desire to take up the task of creating timeless work.

My experience in the medical field has profoundly shaped my approach to photography. The skills I’ve developed—attention to detail, patience, and empathy—are invaluable in capturing the essence of my subjects and the natural world. Blending medicine with photography has given me a unique perspective, blending scientific precision with artistic vision to create meaningful and intentional images.

My Work

My photography is a thoughtful blend of tradition and evolution, rooted in the timeless craft of film yet embracing the possibilities of digital mediums. With a foundation built on years of manual development and darkroom printing, my work reflects a deep appreciation for the artistry and discipline of analog processes. This hands-on experience has shaped my technical expertise and creative vision, which now extends into the world of digital photography. This shift has allowed me to offer greater flexibility in my approach to scenes, people and client work.

The same attention to texture, light, and storytelling carries through in my digital images, preserving the soul and intimacy of film while exploring new creative opportunities. Whether working in analog or digital, I remain committed to delivering thoughtful, meticulously crafted work that reflects my vision and stories.
