Alexi Hobbs works out of Montreal, and has a focus on the use of color and light in his photography. He uses dramatic lighting, low light, and the reflection/refraction of light to highlight his subjects- creating a visual interest on things that may otherwise seem ordinary. Many of his photos have a very focused subject without distraction or abstraction from its surroundings.
Hobbs allows the subject to be simple, often viewing them from unusual perspectives, and uses a strong bold colors or lighting to place emotion in and around said subject. A sense of wonder and interest is felt when viewing, leaving the observer curious to know more, but feeling strangely satisfied at what is there. This may be to allow the viewer to insert their own sort of meaning to the image or invoke a memory or thought for them based on personal experiences and observations.
