A professional photographer and filmmaker with a body of work and client portfolio that belies her millennial age. Sometimes surreal and always vibrant, her shots come across more like stills from a film than carefully curated photographs, evoking emotionally driven narratives—without one word being said.
Her photojournalistic exploration of the thematic elements of Americana, Voyeurism, Suburbia, and even Rodeo life continues to gain significant note, as her work has been featured in Playboy, Maxim, Vice, and more. She continues to shoot editorial as well as album covers, including Father John Misty for Time Out New York, Ruston Kelly’s Dying Star, Colter Wall’s Calgary Round-Up, and Kacey Musgrave’s Golden Hour.
Currently, she spends time between directing music videos with her directing partner and brother (Running Bear Films), shooting album covers, and running a cattle family farm with her husband Brian.
Cowboys and lovers, dancers and preachers, Rodeo Clowns and open strangers ...
The first book from Nashville-based photographer/film-maker Alexa King, American Dreams, Suburban Secrets presents a stylized, countrified glimpse into aspirants of the American dream. Whether chasing its subjects from a truck-stop motel to the nearest diner, the wrestling match to the rodeo, King's work is a fine art book of the highest order, with quintessentially American style.
Featuring an introduction by George Pelecanos, these images are ones you'll return to again and again, losing yourself in King's vision of an America where we can feel, look and dream exactly how we want.
Book Dimensions: 77 images over 102 pages; 10x10 inches, soft-cover, made by local printers in Los Angeles using traditional bookmaking methods ... because art matters. Purchase on page Book.
