Alex Noriega

I'm a full-time nature photographer and photography educator based in the desert Southwest of the United States. I aim to convey a sense of mystery with my photographs - to spark the viewer’s imagination. These days, I prefer to focus on more subtle, intimate scenes with less context. I have a great appreciation for the timeless compositions of the masters of film, and I enjoy blending the influence of this classic style with contemporary techniques in my work. Composition and light are everything, aided (but not replaced) by development in the digital darkroom.

  • Three Trees

    by Alex Noriega 
    I cover the post-production of three very different tree images: Ariandel, Forest Haven, and Rainbow Rider. While the forest is a common theme among these photographs, they feature greatly varied atmosphere, color, and light. You'll learn a wide variety of techniques due to their diversity, but it will also be helpful to see which techniques I use on all three, so that you can learn how to apply them to any situation and any type of light.

  • Edge of Light

    by Alex Noriega 
    I’ll show you how I harness the potential of common types of light in three of my favorite images: Crescendo, Funnel Factory, and Agon Wastes. These photos feature three of my favorite types of light: the last direct light of the evening, soft pre-dawn twilight, and dappled afternoon light created by cloud shadows. You’ll learn a variety of ideas and techniques for working creatively with light and color in your photographs, outside of sunrises and sunsets.
