Personal Details

Bio

There is a reason that Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Microsoft, Britney Spears, Sexy Hair, KMS... look to Alec to capture and create brand campaigns. Alec obviously understands cameras and light, but more importantly-- he understands the audience, motivation and how we see.

​

An artist and avid learner his entire life, Alec's career began in music as an entertainer and recording artist. He has a little wall of gold and platinum records for music production, songwriting, piano and vocals. Exploring photography at 30, Alec found a passion for visual media, specifically advertising. Combining his love and experience of music and photography, film-making and commercial storytelling became the obvious outlet for his creative talents.

​

A seasoned entertainer, storyteller and lover of all things technical, Alec's worked with large ad and marketing budgets. Through his love of teaching, a Harvard Master's education in digital media, and an innate ability to simplify complex technical topics, Alec has created simple tactical approaches to raise the bar on social media, web promotions and campaigns. The goal? To allow everyone, from the solo-preneur to the mid-size corporation, to create strong visual branding that competes internationally with the BIG budgets.

Knowing how we much we actually see on our mobile devices and screens, Alec shows how science and marketers are using technologies to analyze how consumers respond to visuals. The results are initially surprising, but easily understandable.
​
Moving into beautiful imagery and effective visual communication strategies, Alec leaves the audience with a complete

​
Alec LOVES teaching people how to take WAY better images on their mobile device.
​
Part presentation and part workshop, Alec will shoot live to the big screen to show you how every choice will net you a better image.
​
Almost all of the campaigns Alec films and photographs have a social media team capturing BTS and endorsements to promote the brand. With a full understanding of the importance of Social Media influence, Alec always helps out the social media teams with better lighting, angles and is always up for answering questions. One day, it occurred to him: "I should just show people how to do this."

Lighting! The MOST important ingredient of an image. Great light isn't just found in expensive lights - it's a
