At Contact, we’ll be launching the first of our new creative verticals with 20 photographers. One of those photographers is Alex Massek who joins Sam on this first episode of season 2 of the Creative Paths podcast.

Alex was born in Berlin, Germany but grew up in the U.S. Now, he lives and works in London and graduated from the University of St. Andrews, majoring in Business Management and German Studies. He’s built an impressive portfolio over the last six years specializing in portrait, music, fashion, and street photography and working with a wide variety of brands, models, musicians, artists, and other clients.

Due to his fascination with fantasy, he likes to conceptualize and weave dystopian elements into his work to capture the imagination, challenge preconceptions, and bring his projects to life with a nostalgic aesthetic. On top of his solo projects, Alex is also the founder and head of photography at Ampersand Media, the photography, design, and videography company in London.

In this episode, he and Sam explore his photography journey and the different avenues a photography career provides. Listen in as he dispels myths about equipment and offers advice to new photographers on setting prices, using social media, and playing the comparison game. You’ll discover how the pandemic has affected him and other photographers and how he’s managed to balance his work and mental health.
