Alexandra Gibson

Alexandra Gibson's images carry a strong sense of personal and editorial narrative with an eye for the surreal. In stark black & white and vibrant color, she explores the boundaries of reality and eroticism. Her subjects have varied from portraits of Academy Award winners to goth kids, couples to single moms posing nude, Ludacris to the band that is going to get discovered.

Gibson, a photographer with a background in both art photography and journalism, shies away from studio photography, preferring to catch her subjects in their "natural environment" - performers backstage, lovers in their beds, friends that have gotten used to her camera, and people at festivals. However, her East Los Angeles studio is open to client request for boudoir shoots & portraiture. Every single photograph that is delivered to a client, Gibson has spent time with. She doesn't believe in bulk but in quality stunning photographs. She still believes in the art of the black and white photograph.

Gibson has been published in various publications and in May 2008 published her first book of fine art photography called "From the Outside In". She has exhibited in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Canada. Her most recent exhibition was at the La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, Dec. 2008.

"Artist Alexandra Gibson celebrated the release of her first book From the Outside In with a photographic exhibition and live erotic photo shoot at La Luz De Jesus on Saturday Dec. 6. Described as a "cross-fertilization of social realism and erotica," Gibson's photographs are mysterious and provocative."

Pasadena Weekly article "Beautiful people bare body and soul for the lens of South Pasadena artist"

"...In a society inclined to turn sexual mystery into erotic overexposure, Gibson’s black-and-white photographs catch seemingly impromptu acts of passion, giving the viewer a window into the emotional aspects of sexuality as well as the physical. Rather than revealing the entire body in her images, Gibson keeps the eye wanting more by having her subjects pose in alluring ways, while allowing faces to express what’s happening in a scene..."

Gibson directed, co-produced, and filmed "Transgender Teens" for the Discovery Network. A link to the documentary.
