Alex Bershaw, Brooklyn, NY
Member Since January 2007
Artist Statement After many years of traveling the world with the US Navy and capturing most of the journey with disposable cameras, Alex Bershaw came home, where he further developed his eye and transitioned to a point and shoot. Thousands of photographs later Alex adopted the use of a Cannon DSLR. While shooting urban landscapes and candid street scenes he learned how to utilize ambient light to create dramatic shadows within the composition. As a digital media artist, the integration of digital color correction is an important component in producing work that is saturated with brilliant color and high contrast.

Alex's inspiration is rooted in the such film asthetics as the detail of grain, dramatic color and the creative sensibilities of Gordon Parks, Kubrick, Scorsese and Hype Williams.

Alex, a resident of Brooklyn for the past seven years, is the founder of Brooklyn Artsmith Collective. He is currently working on a book inspired by his journeys and experiences.
