ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am Alexander Percy, and I am a self-taught photographer who began photographing nature and landscapes while still in high school. I am currently based in Wilmington, North Carolina, but have lived in various locales. While living up and down the eastern seaboard I have focused my camera lens on the natural surroundings and settings around me. My love of nature began while I was a teenager, and my love of all things outdoors was cultivated from a young age. My pursuit of landscape photography takes me to various places locally as well as to other states.
During college I began taking more formal photography courses to hone my technical skills and over the years I have fine-tuned these skills. I mostly take photographs for pleasure and to share with family but with encouragement I have begun showing my photographs in local galleries. Through my photographs, I aim to capture the small moments as well as large moments to tell the story of our world. Through my photographs I wish to showcase the beauty and power the landscapes we inhabit.
In recent months I have participated in the Community Arts Center’s 9th Annual ArtFall and the Fourth Friday in October 2024 at the Bryand Gallery. Also, recently taken a couple of courses through the International Center for Photography in New York City.
