Alexander, born in 1992 in Ottawa, is a Polish-Canadian documentary photographer and artist whose work aims to reveal the nuances of everyday life. The key is to engage with subjects dialectically – to establish rapport and dignify their presence to shape their stories. He is interested in philosophical questions, memory and identity. Documentary strategies include the compilation of performative, candid and collaborative approaches. He completed his BA at the University of South Wales in Cardiff in Documentary Photography in 2020. Currently he is in the process of completing his MA in Photography at Aalto University in Helsinki.
