Two hours of hiking up a steep slope beside a waterfall and finally Alex was able to say “Okay, let's set up one light there, the other close to the model from over here to boost the sun.” The digitech quickly sets up just behind and they were ready to shoot.

Alex Waber is a studio photographer whose background in cinematography brings an understanding of the narrative qualities of light to every project. His studio techniques extend well beyond the four white walls and into the mountains and valleys and city streets where he often shoots.

He loves working with the real world light to heighten the experience or working against it to remind the viewer that fashion is a beautiful performance.
