Born in Mar de Plata, city in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Alejandro has been in love with life, its colors and forms, since he was a child. Between the ages of 12 and 14 he enjoyed replicating the works of the painter Sandro Botticelli.  Soon, he found an instrument of his own that allowed him to express his love for art – the photographic camera.

Alejandro finds light to be the essence of all things. He always knew that the perfection of what can be seen could not be taken lightly.  That is why he immersed himself deeply in technique, light management and image composition. Success, Alejandro believes, comes only when one becomes part of something, and leadership can only be obtained with daily commitment; accepting the risk of being the first in everything, and always giving a little more.

Alejandro is a completely self-taught professional, with achievements highlighted by the international awards mentioned above.

With deep dedication and respect for knowledge, he was inspired by great teachers like Pablo Tosto, Romero Brest, Joshua Taylor, Jerry Uelsmann, and the emotional intention transmitted by Rudolf Arnheim. He has adopted as his own the great quote by Philip Lorca DiCorcia  “Photography is a foreign language that everyone thinks they master. But few, really, have studied and practiced enough so as to excite the spectator.”
