Photographer Profile: Alex King

So I have conducted a short interveiw with each of my staff, including myself (just picture me sitting asking myself questions) so that my lovely followers can learn a little bit about who we are and why we love capturing your moments!

Enjoy:


ALEX KING

A little about yourself: Other then photography, my greatest passion lyes with cars. I Love motorsports, in particular car racing and Go-Kart racing.

Education: I am a qualified electrician, but my current position is with a large construction company as a Planning and Controls Manager.

What did you want to be when you grew up: When I was younger, I wanted to be a truck driver. Then, as I left high school, I had my sights set on a General Manager role in a large company

How long have you been interested in photography: I have been interested in photography for a while, but I really got into it just before I met my lovely wife. As soon as we met up, my Passion (and im not just talking about her!) just took off. I learnt alot from her (and still do), she is so gifted!

Where is your favourite location to shoot: I love to shoot small things.. But my favourite location to date, would have to be Hong Kong. Its just so interesting. I also LOVE to shoot cars, and I enjoy random alleyway's I find them interesting.

Why did you chose photography: I enjoy capturing moments in time. This can mean anything, from capturing love between a couple, a busy worker bee on a flower, or a race car spitting flames as it screams around a corner. Most of all, I really enjoy shooting with my wife Candice, its our favourite past-time, constantly issuing 'photography challenge's' to each other.
Favourite thing to photograph: I love to shoot alot of things. But my favourite things are small objects. I like to show the world that there is life all around us, but not necessarily always super visible. I also really enjoy shooting cars/motorsports.

What was your first "proper" camera: My first camera was a second hand Canon 300D DSLR. It was upgraded about 6 months later to a Brand new Canon 60D, on the day it was released.

50 years and still strong!

In a months time, my lovely grandparents will be reaching their 50th wedding anniversary! So as a present for them, my family and I organised for me to do a photoshoot with them. These are some of the results. I had a lot of fun working with them. Every time I wasn't looking, they would start skipping along or whispering in each others ear. Congratulations Grandma and Gramps!

This past weekend was absolutely flat out! On Saturday we were faced with a rainy miserable day, but an absolutely gorgeous wedding between Kirste and Mathen. Even though the weather was awful, they never let it dampen their spirits and continued to laugh and have fun all day! Congratulations to you both and thankyou for allow me to be part of your big day!

On Sunday, I had the opportunity to work with another wonderful couple who were eloping! I have known this couple for quite some time and felt so honoured they asked me to document their private day! I can't wait to show everyone the sneak peaks from that one, but for now they will remain a secret until the lovely couple announce to their family that they are now Husband and Wife! Thankyou so much for allowing me to be part of your very special day! I wish you both all the best in life!
