About Alex Hamstra

Self-taught, prefer to work project-based, and my main focus lies on portrait and documentary photography. And enjoy nature and landscape photography as well.

In a world, wherein now a lot of fear, frustration and anger passes by I think it is important to keep an eye on compassion, love and affection, joy and pleasure.

Besides a professional, there’s also a personal side to photography. Since I know I belong within the autistic spectrum photography has gradually been playing an important role in my development as a human being.

For me, it is an important medium to express that what I cannot always express verbally or physically and it makes it easier to come into contact with others. My photos are a way to express my curiosity towards and interest in the fellow human being.
