Photographer Alex Bogaard shares his transformation from a casual point-and-shooter to a seasoned artist deeply inspired by travel and the natural world. Having lived across Europe and the Northwest United States, Alex recounts how his passion evolved through formal training, including a pivotal masterclass that sharpened his creative and technical skills.

Travel remains central to Alex’s work, with a particular focus on remote, hard-to-reach locations that evoke a deep emotional connection. He discusses his preference for minimal photo manipulation, allowing the raw beauty of his subjects to shine through. Alex also shares his thoughts on the evolving role of technology in photography, from advanced gear to the resurgence of film-inspired editing techniques.

Additionally, he delves into his printing process, highlighting the importance of turning digital images into tangible art. Alex's unique gallery space serves not only as a showcase for his work but also as a hub for fostering community engagement and encouraging meaningful conversations around art and nature.

I hope you enjoy the show.
