Alex Frayne

Alex Frayne is an Adelaide-based Australian photo artist whose images have received attention locally and abroad.

He studied film at the Flinders University of South Australia, where he met long-time collaborator and cinematographer Nick Remy Matthews.

Alex Frayne graduated from Flinders University with a Bachelor of Arts in 1996, moving straight into production with a series of short films from 1998 to 2004, before switching to photography as his primary artistic expression.

Variety critic Richard Kuipers hailed the film:[1] "...unlike anything else in the Australian genre catalogue"Between 2014 and 2020 he produced a series of photographic books for Wakefield Press (Australia).

Discussing the third of these books, (Landscapes of South Australia), Simon Caterson wrote in The Australian:[2] "...The book confirms that Frayne, who uses old cameras and expired film in his artistic practice, deserves to be thought of alongside Ansel Adams and the other great landscape photographers..."
