Alex currently resides in Toronto, Canada. He returns regularly to the Philippines.

He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Toronto with the goal of being a human rights lawyer instead he became a documentary photographer who focuses on human rights issues. Though he also does work in other genres and issues, his focus is on stories that involve the relationship between his country of birth (the Philippines) and his country of upbringing and citizenship (Canada).

His photography has been featured in publications and exhibitions in Canada, the USA, Italy, Australia, and the Philippines. His work has been published and/or exhibited by Amnesty International, CARE-Canada, Oxfam-Australia, NOW magazine, The Toronto Star, This Magazine, Red Bull Entertainment, the Immaginario Scientifico museum in Trieste, and others.

He returned from three months in the Philippines this past January 2008 where he worked with local and international NGOs around human rights issues. Other than his personal projects (the centre-piece being a project about Canadian-owned mining in the Philippines) he worked with organizations like the Children’s Rehabilitation Center and the Children’s Participation Center to help provide art therapy for children and youth in urban poor areas of Manila, and with victims of military violence.
