“Full of coffee and good ideas,” Alex was forging a career as an actor before finding more inspiration behind the camera in the past few years. Immediately embedding herself in the LA music scene, she’s collaborated with the likes of 21 Savage, Ari Lennox, Ciara, Smino, Victoria Monet, Shawn Mendes and Machine Gun Kelly.

Simultaneously finding intimacy with her subjects and pushing originality with her ideas, Harper’s images reset perspectives and subvert preconceptions. Male subjects in particular are captured in playful or unexpectedly revealing moods as alex discards obsolete tropes of masculinity for disarming emotional openness. Shooting predominantly on film gives every image tangibility and in-the-moment immediacy

often incorporating her photographs into collages, alex adds an abstract, cut-and-paste aesthetic edge to the honesty of her originals. Instinctual expressions and unexpected compositions disrupt convention to catch era-defining musicians in free motion and emerging artists in their element.

This ability to reach the unseen side of her subjects, has resulted in commissions for clients including Beats by Dre, ChinaTownMarket, Interscope, Dreamville, Paper Magazine, PyerMoss, Roc Nation, Wonderland and Nike.
