A native to Los Angeles, Alex Prager’s photography career began on the cusp of her teens. After holding down a slew of jobs in the private sector, from selling knives to washing cars, Prager, so inspired by the modern works of William Eggleston, decided to make the leap to full time photographer. With little more than a camera, a few odd subjects, and some rolls of black and white she set off down that long and familiar road of the sojourning artist: self-discovery. The photographs capture the essence of each sin; sometimes with a wink and a smirk, sometimes with the shy bat of lashes, and sometimes with a blunt obvious blow to the head. The work carries Prager’s signature surreal high-saturation color and the use of high-gloss plexiglass, which further gives the viewer the feeling of peering into an alternate strange and wonderful world.
