lex Kemsley is a 16 year old fine art photographer from England in the UK. Residing just outside of London, where city meets countryside, Alex feels living in such a wonderful place influences him greatly and provides great inspiration for his work. “The theme of natural environment, and the interdependence of man and nature, is something that is present in the majority of my photography. I love shooting my portraits in fields and meadows, and living near these landscapes provides the inspiration behind the conceptual work.” WSI: How did your journey into the art world start? AK: From the age of seven, I wanted to become an illustrator for book publications. I didn’t consider being a photographer until the age of thirteen. Up until then, I hadn’t thought of photography as being an art form, but instead a method of documenting memories and experiences. When I discovered the work of Francesca Woodman, my opinion of photography was completely altered.
