Alex Palumbo
California
Alex Palumbo is a filmmaker, photographer, and waterman based in Southern California. Growing up on the south shore of Long Island, New York, Alex spent his formative years learning how to source his food from the sea - and growing an appreciation for the natural world.
Alex is a natural born storyteller. Having a keen eye for detail and an uncanny ability to capture the most genuine moments as they unfold - he has been trusted to tell the stories of people, places, and moments both large and small over the years.
Photography and filmmaking happened organically, out of a desire to document the wild places and unique souls he came across in his travels. Storytelling through a lens became his way of connecting with people, and is what gave his life its greatest purpose.
His films and photos have been used by Spotify, Men's Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Casa Dragones Tequila, and Todd Snyder - along with many smaller companies and artists.
Recently, Alex has built out a team to tackle larger productions - while still being nimble enough to blend into communities and groups to tell the most authentic stories possible.
