Hello there fellow camera nymphomaniacs! Today we are very excited to bring you part one of a three part interview with Alex Smailes, a Trinidad-based professional photographer. Alex began his professional career as an underwater photographer, but quickly found an obsession with photojournalism…to be more specific, conflict photography. A small disclaimer before you continue, some of the stories to come are a bit graphic, a little scary and for the most part un-friggin-believable. In Part one, Alex tells of his beginnings, and early experiences as a young photographer trying to make a name for himself.
So grab a a cup of coffee, close your office door and get comfortable, this one’s a doozy…
