Description
Synopsis: Tackling a new medium is always tough, but what is it like picking up photography when your past 10 years of professional work has been in the 3D game art space. Alex explores this idea diving into his first year with a camera in his hands, documenting lessons learnt in the medium and how he used it to understand his own aesthetic taste in the aim of improving his artistic eye and ability to articulate his ideas.
Through this journey Alex unpacks what work inspires him and why, to help further his own aesthetic and incorporate elements to mold and create his own artistic style, leveraging traditional street photography as well as his game art experience. His journey covers the ups, the downs and everything in-between as he demonstrates that following the ‘rules’ for photography is not always the best way forward.
