DOCUMENTARY cinematographer | Video journalist
mails to alexmsharon@gmail.com
i was Born and bred in the midwest, and am currently based out of chicago. my work aims to blend cinematic imagery with raw, human emotion. it’s rooted in empathy as well as the understanding that filmmaking is a collaboration with those in front of the camera just as much as it is with those behind it.
when i’m behind the camera, it’s an exploration with others, and a genuine connection.
i am an observer, a listener, a collaborator, a husband, and a father. my work has appeared on ESPN, VICE, reuters, Paramount+, bloomberg tv, and others as well. thanks for stopping by.
