“Earth Trees & Clouds”, a collection of selected fine art photographs by Alex Capri.
Alex Capri is an award-winning photographer, currently based in Hong Kong. His works feature subjects from more than 40 countries around the world.
Capri studied at Brooks Institute of Photography, in Santa Barbara, California. Although best known for his black & white landscapes, cityscapes and urban still-lifes, his portfolio covers a broad range of genres, including people, underwater photography and underwater films.
Many of Capri’s images have been captured with medium and large format film cameras (still his favorite medium) although a growing number of his more recent photographs are of the digital variety.
As the son of diplomats, Capri spent his youth in Europe, Asia and South America. In Bangkok, his mother bought him a second hand Rolleiflex twin lens camera when he was eight years old. Thus began Capri’s photographic odyssey and by the time he was a teenager he began publishing his first photo-essays.
Capri’ s images have gained acclaim for their serene, minimalist quality, with a focus on space and the juxtaposition of simple elements. Many of his recent, high quality landscapes exhibited at The Landmark illustrates the relationship between earth, trees and clouds.
Capri’s forthcoming book “Palouse” captures more than 25 years of light, space and form in the region of North America known by the same name - Palouse.
Awards
