About
Hi there, welcome to Captured by Alex. I am Alex Keuning, originally from the Netherlands, living in Switzerland since 2009 with my husband, three daughters and two cats. I have been studying Photography since the end of the nineties when I bought my first analogue Nikon DSLR. I started in Amsterdam at Fotogram, completing several basic, portrait and darkroom courses. After switching to Digital in 2006 I continued my education at Das Fotografie Institut Zürich in 2010 and in 2012 enrolling in courses at Viewfinder Center Zürich. Completing their Advanced Study Programme in 2016. I have since attended various specialised Pet Photography Courses: in the Netherlands with Sanne van den Berg and online in the US with Norah Levine, Julia Kelleher, Rachael McKenna, Arica Dorff and Vicky Taufer. In March 2018 I learnt more retouching skills from the lovely and very talented dog photographer Anne Geier in Austria. In April 2018 I attended the workshop Dogs in Action by Claudio Piccoli. They have all been a huge inspiration to me and guided me into creating my own style. In 2019 I attended an advanced Portrait course at Viewfinder Center, learning more portrait skills from Matt Anderson and Erwin Windmüller. Since 2021 I am a Student mentor at Viewfinder Mastery Accelerator course. Check out the free photography resources on their page.
