Alex Darocy is a fine art photographer shooting mainly toys right now, though he has been doing street photography for some time, working on the series Passing Windows since 2008. He also does some video work, and he publishes local reports and protest oriented, social documentary photography at Santa Cruz Indymedia.
When using toys in his photos, he sets them up to create vivid psychological and or politically themed art.
Alex has a BA degree in the History of Art and Visual Culture from UCSC.
