Alex Schult

I've been a professional photographer for more than two decades. Though my specialty is landscapes, I've explored many other areas of photography, including portraits, macro, street photography, and event photography. I've traveled the world with my camera and am passionate about telling stories through my photos. Photography isn't just a job for me, though—it's a way to have fun and build community. More importantly, I believe that photography should be open and accessible to photographers of all skill levels. That's why I founded PhotographyTalk and why I'm just as passionate about photography today as I was the first day I picked up a camera.
