Oghalé Alex is a Nigerian-American Creative Director & Photographer based in London and Los Angeles. He is also founder of minimal fashion label, ISOKO.
His work is largely inspired by the concept of calm. He looks to create soothing juxtapositions between his subjects and their environments, paying special attention to posing and movement with soft colours and a playful romanticism being key elements of every frame.
Alongside visual work, Oghalé also lends his voice to brands through copywriting — crafting tone, narrative and messaging with the same clarity and elegance found in his imagery.
Through the vehicle of photography, Oghalé aims to change negative perceptions surrounding Black Men & Women.
His work has been published in magazines including Nataal and Viewpoint Colour Magazine. He was shortlisted for the PALM* Photo Prize 2020 and has exhibited work at the National Portrait Gallery of England as well as Vogue’s Photovogue Festival in 2022.
