I’m drawn to atmosphere, emotional realism, and lived experience, creating images that explore identity, environment, and belonging.Across all of my work, I seek to build a consistent visual language through light, mood, and storytelling. Rather than being defined by genre, my practice is driven by a desire to create photographs that feel authentic, immersive, and connected to the people and places they depict.Alongside my photography practice, I am co-founder of Te Ara o te Akau, a Cook Islands-based NGO focused on coral restoration and ocean conservation, and am passionate about environmental advocacy.View Alex's website - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/auckland/beats-and-backdrops-welcome-night-with-speaker-alex-king/100001992392487564 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Exhibitions, Photography, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Fujifilm House of Photography - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: NZD ## Event venue details - **city**: Auckland - **state**: AU - **country**: New Zealand - **location**: Fujifilm House of Photography - **lat**: -36.7534387 - **long**: 174.7059206 - **full address**: Fujifilm House of Photography, 2C William Pickering Drive, Auckland, New Zealand ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Beats and Backdrops | Welcome Night with Speaker Alex King - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/930bc5a85cfe92576ad3c68423bc6329e27867a0c3c7472594b0a3a659cd1fac-rimg-w1200-h623-dc2a2c29-gmir.jpg?v=1782215800 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Beats and Backdrops | Welcome Night with Speaker Alex King being held? - **A:** Beats and Backdrops | Welcome Night with Speaker Alex King takes place on Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Fujifilm House of Photography, 2C William Pickering Drive, Auckland, New Zealand. - **Q**: Who is organizing Beats and Backdrops | Welcome Night with Speaker Alex King? - **A:** Beats and Backdrops | Welcome Night with Speaker Alex King is organized by FUJIFILM NZ. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
