Alexi Lubomirski
Biography

Alexi was born in England to a Peruvian mother and a Polish father. At the age of eight, he moved to Botswana with his mother and English stepfather. It was his stepfather who gave him his first camera at the age of 11. His serious interest in photography developed whilst traveling in Peru during a gap year at college. His interest later shifted from social commentary to narrative based/fashion photography whilst studying his degree at the University of Brighton, in the UK.

Introduced to Mario Testino whilst making the rounds in London with his university portfolio, Lubomirski soon joined him in Paris as his assistant. He travelled the globe with Testino for 4 years, and despite being on an airplane every 5 or so days, he did manage to produce a few test shoots, one of which was seen and placed immediately in The Face by Katie Grand. He soon left Testino, shooting his first commissioned story and those following, for The Face with the editor Grace Cobb.

He was later introduced to Harper's Bazaar, again by Katie. He has been shooting fashion stories and celebrity covers (Renee Zelleweger, Cate Blanchett, Gwen Stefani, Demi Moore and Catherine Zeta Jones) for the magazine ever since, working with such fashion industry stalwarts as Brana Wolf.

He recently relocated to NYC in Sept 2005.
