ALEX BUCKINGHAM 0418 710 501 alex@alexbuckingham.com http://www.alexbuckingham.com ALEX-BUCKINGHAM-PHOTOGRAPHY.MYSHOPIFY.COM https://www.saatchiart.com/alexbuckingham https://bluethumb.com.au/alex-buckingham/Artwork www.squint-showcase.com/alex-buckingham Alex kicked off his career in London (UK) and was initially known for his skill at photographing liquid and still life. He shot campaigns for just about every British booze and banking institution you can think of. Alex had always enjoyed shooting his own work, and continues to do this, everything from still life to landscapes. However, it wasn’t until he fell for the barmaid at his local pub and moved to her native Queensland that he began to work extensively on location and lifestyle in addition to still life. Alex spent three months travelling around Queensland shooting an extensive campaign for the Great Northern Brewing Company. The project allowed him to combine his two great loves: landscapes and beer. Alex has picked up most of the coveted international and national awards around, including; Cannes, One Show, D&AD, Clio, AWARD and BADC. He was also named 123rd best advertising photographer in the world in 2014. To view some of the Advertising work, which includes clients below and more, please click on one of the signatures above.
