Born in Brazil and by way of New York, Alexender Simões is a Culture & Lifestyle Photographer based in Dallas.

Culture is more than a way of life for Alexender — it’s the focus and inspiration for how he sees through the lens. Drawn to natural, warm, homey, and elevated tones, his work balances the intimacy of editorial storytelling with the clarity and polish of commercial sensibility. With a technical eye for light — whether chasing it or shaping it — he enhances contrast, dials in sharpness, and frames with intention, always aiming to reveal the heart of the story.

His visual instincts are shaped by a broad mix of influences: fluency in three Romance languages, a skateboarding background, global travel, a fascination with history, and a deep respect for real human connection. That layered perspective informs the rhythm and tone of his imagery.

Alexender isn’t a solo act. He’s a strong team player who thrives in collaboration, bringing a sense of ease and intention to every production. Known for his efficiency and attention to detail, he’s equally comfortable on location or in the studio, and is proficient in lighting and post-production workflows.

Over the past five years, he’s honed his craft by assisting well-known photographers, and creatives across the industry — an experience that continues to add depth and range to his own work.

When not on set or location, Alexender is likely somewhere with his wife, son, and daughter — chasing light, searching for stories, or just soaking up the next spark of inspiration.
