My name is Alex Gu, I am an aspiring landscape photographer with seven years of serious pursuit of the art. Outside of my day job, I find myself traveling far and wide in search of extraordinary places and capturing them as authentically as I can.Born in Florida and raised mostly in Shanghai, China, I returned to the States for college before picking up photography in earnest after graduation. I cut my teeth photographing the mountains and coasts of Virginia and North Carolina, and three years ago I moved to San Diego to experience the landscapes of the American West.I would describe my work as blending traditional landscape photography with modern aesthetics inspired by film photography and cinema; all with an emphasis on authenticity.Beyond photography (and work), I love discovering and being part of local art communities in San Diego, spanning music and the graphic arts. I have regularly participated in the Del Mar Fair International Exhibition of Photography and was honored to receive Best of Show in 2025. I look forward to continuing to grow as an artist, and I'm excited to share my photography journey so far!
