Alex Prager

 a self-taught photographer, takes her cues from pulp fiction, the cinematic conventions of movie directors such as Douglas Sirk and Alfred Hitchcock, and fashion photography. Resembling movie stills, her unnerving photographs—crisp, boldly coloured  shot from unexpected angles, and dramatically lit—feature women disguised in wigs, dramatic makeup, and retro attire.
                     There is nothing more beautiful, or staged as tragedy.
