Alex
Jenkins
Photographer and filmmaker. I make quiet pictures of loud lives: musicians, makers and small towns, mostly on film.
"I wait for the second after the moment."
Everyone photographs the kiss, the trophy, the jump. I like what happens right after: the laugh, the exhale, the look back. That's where people stop performing and start being themselves.
I shoot stills on a 1970s Pentax and films on whatever the story needs. Clients hire me for album covers, short documentaries and brand stories that don't feel like ads.

Every roll ends up here first. Hover to look through the loupe, and click a frame to circle it in grease pencil, like I do with clients.

The grade
Drag the line. On the left, straight out of the camera. On the right, the finished look. Pick a mood to change it.

Some pictures are worth the wait.
I still print my favourites by hand. Watch one come up in the tray, the way it does at two in the morning with the radio on.

Hey, it's Alex. Most of my best pictures happened because someone trusted me enough to forget I was there. If you've got a story like that, a band, a family business, a town that's changing, I'd love to hear it. No pitch deck needed.
