i like to make horrifying and beautiful images
hi, i'm alexander thomas,
a passionate cinematographer, and photographer. My journey in visual storytelling began when I was just five years old, and ever since, creating photos and movies has been my greatest joy in life. Originally from Philadelphia, my roots have instilled in me a blend of grit and artistic flair that I bring to all my work.
I started my professional career shooting low-budget music videos, which was an incredible training ground for creativity and resourcefulness. Over time, I transitioned into fashion photography and narrative film, discovering my true love for storytelling along the way. Each project is an opportunity to bring a unique vision to life, and I cherish every moment of the creative process.
In addition to my work behind the camera, I’ve delved into screenwriting and filmmaking, allowing me to craft stories from inception to the final frame. I also learned Unreal Engine and using UE to further the craft of filmmaking. My dedication to storytelling extends across all these mediums, constantly driving me to push the boundaries of my craft.
My work has gained recognition and been featured on various prominent platforms, including Flaunt Magazine, VH1, MTV Germany, MTV, Fuse, Huffington Post, and AP, among others. Each of these experiences has shaped me and allowed me to grow as an artist.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I’ve also explored my creative side through writing. I published a book of poetry that holds a special place in my heart. Another memorable adventure was restoring a boat and sailing it up the coast of California, a testament to my love for hands-on projects and the beauty of the open sea.
I’m always eager to collaborate on new projects and continue my journey of capturing and creating captivating stories through my lens.
