While working on cruise ships for several years, he was exposed to landscapes from all most every part of the world, and what started out as a hobby quickly became a passion. Now settled in Las Vegas, Alex combines his love for hiking and photography to capture amazing shots from places all over the southwest. With a background in technical theater, he knows when and how to capture the perfect lighting for his shots. When editing his work, he may use minimal enhancements, leaving nature as it was at that moment, or he may use a process known as HDR to bring out the vibrancy of the colors.
