Jeff alu
Fine art photographer Jeff Alu embraces “the poetry of his surroundings.”
“Passionate and self-taught, Alu allows the urban and natural environment to inform him, and his subjects to reveal themselves, as he navigates
and archives the abundant visual treasures that habitually go unnoticed by the average pedestrian. Imbued with a formal and conceptual depth and richness, his signature style manifests a dreamlike quality that transforms the mundane into the magical, creating new worlds where one can traverse both visually and psychologically. Readily personi ed and holding deep paradox, these images are simultaneously post-apocalyptic and hopeful, animated and still, silent and speaking volumes, devoid of human- kind but lled with an eerie memory of humanity..."
