Alex Telfer is a photographer born and raised in the North of England, where he still currently resides. Telfer is fortunate to have been commissioned by some of the largest brands in the world as a result of the artistic approach he deploys to all of his work. He loves the creative side of photography and as a result his commissioned work is often mistaken for personal work. Telfer’s personal work is very much what drives and informs everything he does. As a result his work has been exhibited throughout Europe and, most recently, at CCH in Hamburg.
