Biography

Culture is more than a way of life for Alexender — it is the focus and inspiration for what and how he sees through his lens. With the technical ability to chase/shape light, he takes capturing his subjects even further by enhancing the contrast, and dialing in the sharpness...all while framing and exposing the heart of the story. 

He draws inspiration from many different elements — similar to the success of proper photo composition and its conveyed meaning: his proficiency in three of the romance languages, a background in skateboarding, global travels, a pure fascination with history, as well as the authenticity and understanding of real human connection. 

Alexender has also spent the past decade developing his eye, defining his skillsets, and carving out a unique path by assisting well known photographers, artists, and creatives from all over the world. A lifelong student of his craft, his continuous experience alongside other industry professionals provides more depth, insight, and meaning to his work.

When not with his wife + son & daughter on location or on set they’re embarking on another adventure searching for inspiration for the next project/series. 

Born in Brazil and by way of New York, Alexender Simões is a culture and lifestyle photographer based in Los Angeles.
