Bio

Infatuated by the nature surrounding him, Alex Ortiz is a photographer that loves to photograph wildlife animals and spread awareness about the environmental impact that we have on this planet. When he is not enveloped by the wilderness, he strives to create original pieces through intricate techniques like his signature light paintings that merge his passion for motorcycles and objective lens. In his spare time, Alex Ortiz is also a volunteer mentor at the nonprofit organization, Kids In Focus, where he proudly teaches kids about the joys of photography, and shows them there’s more to photography than a well crafted photo.
