About Alex Ferrone

About: Alex Ferrone’s fine art photographs produced from over the Hamptons, North Fork and New York region have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums in the United States, Italy and Spain. Ferrone’s works have been awarded internationally, published widely, and are held in private collections in the United States, Italy and France. ************************************************************************************************************************************** Artist Statement: “As a fine art aerial photographer with varying artistic influences, I aspire to see differently as I explore my environment from diverse altitudes, and have developed a body of work that has been naturally abstracted from various landscapes and New York waters. Generally leaving out representational elements within the images, leaves the viewer little or no reference to reality, and challenges their perception of the mystery within the natural form, shape and line. Presenting this unique perspective for the viewer excites their imagination and interpretation, while at the same time, creates a new awareness and appreciation for the fragile ecological systems that surround us that can be taken for granted." ~ Alex Ferrone.
