Alexander Beer is a multi award winning portrait and documentary photographer / director based in London, UK. He shoots on analogue film cameras as well as digital.

His work has taken him all over the world to some remote areas as well as densely populated towns and cities plus some pretty precarious environments – all for the love of creating interesting photo stories.

His main objective is to create photographic narratives of people set against backgrounds in locations all over the world, bringing each image to life by capturing moments in time with a cinematic and romantic feel.

Growing up in South East Asia and Saudi Arabia before moving back to London in his teens, influenced Alex’s fascination with people, cultures, religions and diversity and this is expressed in his work.

Alexander is currently working on personal book projects:
Ringleaders. An analogue black and white photography book depicting the raw power of female boxers, By the River. Analogue observational project, focusing on where I live through lockdown.

2019 saw Alex move into being in front of the camera for television, presenting and interviewing whilst photographing people and locations in South Korea for the Discovery Channel. (see links)
