Alex Frederickson is a self-taught artistic and documentary photographer who was born and raised in the UK to German speaking parents and now lives in the mountains of Austria.

As a former psychiatric nurse, she has a real love for her fellow human beings and a deep interest in real life with no contrivance.

When the laws surrounding photographing strangers on the street were tightened, Alex began to express herself via the anonymity of intentional camera movement (ICM) and in-camera multiple exposure (ME) and developed a fascination with presenting an alternative view of reality. As Alex is hearing impaired, her perception of the world is already based on how something feels and what began as necessity, soon became her passion. She views her Fujifilm cameras as an extension of her creative self, allowing her to take the physical representation of a scene and turn it into visual poetry, be it the shimmering dance of ICM, the mystery of ME or detailed and in-the-moment everyday life.

Alex’s artistic prints adorn the walls of homes and businesses from Salzburg to Sacramento and Feet Under the Seat, the book she published in 2022, which tells the stories of strangers on a train during the coronavirus lockdown of 2020 via photos of their feet, is in its second print run.

Alex loves to share her knowledge and view of the world with others via workshops and interviews and has been a guest on The FujiCast and The Photowalk.
