Alex Garcia is a photojournalist and videographer based in
Chicago with over 20 years of experience that includes staff positions at the
Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the Long Beach Press-Telegram and the
Palm Beach Post. HarperCollins calls him, "One of the World's Leading
Photojournalists".
He has covered major news events, from political conventions
to natural disasters, both here and abroad. He has photographed a diversity of
people in many contexts - from CEO executives to intimate moments of everyday
people, scaling up the production quality of the shoot depending on the needs
of clients and the story.
At the Chicago Tribune, he received a 1st Place award from
the World Press Photo contest in Amsterdam, the world's most prestigious
photojournalism contest. He also shares a Pulitzer Prize with the staff for
coverage of gridlock at O'Hare Airport.
Among his book credits, Garcia was selected to participate
in the largest photo project in publishing history, "America 24/7”. He was
also selected for the book projects "A Day in the Life of the U.S. Armed
Forces", "America At Home” and most recently, “The Human Face of Big
Data”.
At the Chicago Tribune, Garcia influenced a monthly audience
of tens of thousands via the Assignment Chicago photo blog and a weekly column
published on the blog about topics relating to photography and photojournalism.
It was one of the few individual photo blogs on the website of a major news
organization. The posts form the basis of his book "Depth of Field: Tips
on Photojournalism and Creativity" by Agate Digital.
He has special expertise in Cuba, having lived and worked in
the country for over a year in the past 20 years. He worked as a correspondent
there for the Tribune company when the company was granted permission to open
the first newspaper bureau in the country in 40 years.
He currently serves on the board of directors of the
National Press Photographers Association.
