Hey, I’m Alex, the guy behind the lens.
I just turned the big 3-0 in June, and I’m stoked to bring my passion to my latest work "The Noise of Us" to Solbar.
My black-and-white shots are all about capturing the raw, unpolished energy, whether it’s a drummer lost in a frenzy, a crowd surfing in a haze of excitement, or my mates jamming in a garage turned stage.
I’ve spent years documenting the heartbeat of Australia’s DIY music culture, from packed pits to intimate rehearsals.My photos attempt to capture the chaos and camaraderie of venues and living rooms that become our stages. I love capturing those fleeting moments, highlighting the DIY ethos with handmade sets, lo-fi setups, and the pure joy of creating music on our own terms.
​
Turning 30 hasn’t slowed me down; it’s only deepened my love for this vibrant, grassroots scene and the importance it has now more than ever.
Come check out my work at The Noise of Us and dive into the noisy, beautiful world I’ve been lucky enough to capture!
