Madrid-born cinematographer with a solid technical background and profound artistic sensibility.
Originally considered studying architecture, Alex found in film a space where his passions for painting, music, literature, and photography converged. Fascinated by light and image, he began in camera and lighting departments, distinguishing himself as a gaffer on numerous films, documentaries, fiction series, advertising campaigns, and music videos eventually becoming a director of photography.
Education and Teaching
He studied Cinematography & Visual Arts in TAI Art School (Rey Juan Carlos Univeristy) with a dissertation on the shooting, exhibition and preservation of cinema in photochemical film format, he complemented his career with a Master's degree in Contemporary Art, Literature, and Culture from the Open University of Catalonia, where he lectured on Tarkovsky, a key influence on his work. He has also taught at the Madrid Film Institute and the TAI Art School (Rey Juan Carlos University) in wich he is at the moment strengthening and sharing his understanding of cinematic language as a teacher.
Feature Projects and Future
After shooting "Incinerate" (2025), his first feature film, he combines his teaching work with advertising projects for brands like Adidas, Scalpers, Pull&Bear, Bete Noir, O´Neill or Chevrolet while developing two new feature films: "Los Elogios" (2027) and "Pulso Primigenio" (2028).
Press Interviews and appearances
"We sought to express the character's inner world through a combination of anamorphic and spherical lenses, which we used depending on the main character's mental state. We also moved away from naturalistic lighting and into a world of expressive and dynamic light, characteristic of the story's symbolism." Camera & Light Magazine, September Issue, 2024
His goal is to continue growing as a cinematographer, experimenting with light, framing, and movement as expressive tools. Alejandro considers cinema a complete form of expression, where the technical and the artistic intertwine. His work is based on collaboration and constant exploration.
