Alexander Hooks

Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Alex never planned on a career in photography, much less fashion photography. Alex discovered photography while pursuing his first love of rock climbing in his late teens while living full time out of his pickup truck, which led to him publishing his first images in outdoor publications and retail catalogs. In 2012, Alex relocated to NYC to pursue a formal education in studio photography at the New York FiIm Academy. During that time, he discovered a love for working on photo sets where everyone is working to create a common vision and never left.

Alex can currently be found hunched over a computer somewhere retouching images or working on his new venture Complicated Things, an educational youtube channel that covers all things photo.
