For our third annual Booooooom Photo Awards, supported by Format, we selected 5 winners, one for each of the following categories: Portrait, Street, Colour, Nature, Fashion. You can view all the winners and shortlisted photographers here. Now it is our pleasure to introduce the winner of the Portrait category, Alex Bex.
Alex Bex is a French-Texan photographer based in Berlin. His work engages with and critically explores the cultural narratives that shaped his upbringing, focusing particularly on masculinity and its social construction.
