Chihuahua, México is where Alejandro's story begins — where the desert and the light left a permanent mark on his soul. His family's move to the U.S. set him on a defining journey, through Kansas City and eventually to New York City, a third of his life shaped by each place. It was through his father's 35mm camera that he discovered his passion for photography, quickly falling in love with the art form.

He dedicates his lens to amplifying voices often overlooked through captivating stills & motion film. His work delves into the raw essence of reality, employing vibrant colors and close-up shots to accentuate the true grit of human nature and the emotions that define it.

Alejandro’s upcoming photo book Cuando Pude, published byKnow publishing, is a tribute to the art of making things happen against all odds. The book captures his raw, unfiltered experiences across 23 countries, spanning from Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia, to the caribbean, the middle east and the arctic circle. Cuando Pude celebrates perseverance and the courage to explore the world with whatever is at hand.

For over a decade Ale has been based in Brooklyn, NY — remaining an "inquieto," perpetually restless, always eager to immerse himself in a new experience, seeking fresh perspectives and inspirations outside the East Coast.
