Alex Sheyn started toying with photography at a young age, frequently serving as official photographer on family trips with his dad’s old camera gear. Having grown up in a family of architects, artists and musicians, Alex's own career path led him to a degree in Art and Design and to his exploration of design and photography. For his city and street photography, Alex strives to show urban environments in ways that elicit unexpected emotion – through editing or using unexpected vantage points, often a combination of both.

Alex’s go-to camera is a Canon 6D, or a Sony a6000 when the Canon feels too cumbersome. While he admits to falling in love with some photos from his iPhone, he typically prefers the editing power of a traditional setup. He loves to edit from scratch, appreciating the power of RAW format and fine-tuning until satisfied. He notes, however, that choosing the right filter can be just as artistic, and may be the right path to get a desired effect. Alex is a Senior Art Director at Odopod, a digital design agency in San Francisco.
