THE INCREDIBLE NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY OF
ALEX MITROFF CAPTURING THE MAGIC OF THE CALIFORNIA LANDSCAPE
B efore 2011, photographer Alex Mitroff didn’t care about pictures at all. “I’d never owned a camera — never cared about a photograph up to that point,” he says. While attending college in New York, a friend visited the city and lent him her camera for the day. He fell in love with photography almost immediately while taking pictures around New York City. And luckily, he discovered that he had quite the knack for taking pictures. At the tail end of the 2008 recession, his career in law enforcement was put on hold. So, in response, he pursued a job in photography and was fortunate enough to land a job with Norwegian Cruise Line as an onboard professional photographer. It was a crash
course in photography, working every day, all day, for six months at a time with his camera. Though today he works for the Riverside County Sheriff’s department in California, where he returned to pursue another one of his passions, he still picks up his camera and heads out to shoot every few weekends. These days, he spends most of his time behind the camera seeking out beautiful landscapes and stunning portraits of the natural world. “For some reason, trees always draw me in,” he says. “Nature is an interesting subject — you can go to the same location countless times and still not get the shot. You’re subject to the conditions around you, and you have to be patient if you’re going to get the image you really want that’s worth sharing.”
