“Just keep shooting and learning every single day.”

Intercru: Where are you from? Where are you living/working now?

Alex: I am from a small beach town called Noosa heads in Queensland, Australia.

What got you into photography?

I was always interested in photography growing up as a hobby but didn’t realize it was a passion until 2 years ago when I decided to take it seriously. 

What was the first camera you ever had?

The first camera I had was a little 2000s point and shoot and then a Canon 750d. Now I use the Canon 5d Mark 4.

Where do you find inspiration for your photography?

I find inspiration out of random bursts of creativity in the surroundings I have. I also find inspiration from similar artists and magazines.

What piece of advice would you give to aspiring photographers?

Just keep shooting and learning every single day.
