I'm Alex, a photographer based in the UK. Street photography was the first genre that ever felt like it truly understood me. Long before I had words for what I was feeling, I found a kind of clarity in pointing my camera toward everyday life. I connected with it instantly—its honesty, its unpredictability, its quiet way of revealing truths hiding in plain sight. I actually started photographing the streets to support my mental health. At the time, wandering with a camera felt like a small act of self-preservation. The rhythm of walking, watching, and waiting for a moment to unfold gave me a sense of calm I couldn’t find anywhere else. What began as a coping tool slowly evolved into a reflective practice, one that helped me see the world, and myself, with a bit more compassion. Street photography taught me that meaning often shows up in the simplest places: a glance, a shadow, a fleeting gesture. And in learning to look for those moments, I’ve learned to appreciate my own in-between moments too. In many ways, the photographs I take are less about the streets and more about the journey of learning to slow down, breathe, and pay attention.
