About Alex Rimorin

“Never underestimate the trivial beauty of a random encounter”.

Alex’s philosophy reflects his passion for his trade, after experimenting with various artistic mediums it was photography that finally provided him with his creative outlet. In a recent interview Alex was asked “As an artist what is your purpose in choosing photography as a medium?”

The Keepsake Factor—whether it’s a piece or series developed for a theme or a project, a moment of inspiration and personal expression; there’s a feeling of permanence where you can earmark that specific time period. It becomes a reflection of self.

For me this also applies when I work commercially, clients definitely appreciate the “keepsake factor” when working with children especially; the candid moments. Incorporating art into portraiture allows you to timestamp specific periods in their child’s life; it also helps me develop an interpersonal relationship with my clients. I enjoy creating the pictures that they will look at when they are grandparents themselves and be able to look back at that moment in time with their children and realize the beauty captured in that trivial moment. Weddings are the same way; I believe a hybrid approach is best: Standard (posed) Candid (casual) and Photojournalistic (chronological, storyboarding) by incorporating these concepts and art into the event I can produce something unique along with the expected standard shots. One of my favorite things is working with my clients post-shoot, I love presenting the proofs of the standard (posed) shots, then presenting the candid, casual, (keepsake) shots. The reaction is always emotional and genuine, it’s a guilty pleasure I get to enjoy as a photographer.
