The Verzasca dam, Switzerland, is 220 metres high by 380 metres in length. It was built between 1960 and 1965. The reservoir feeds a three-turbine hydroelectric power station, which generates 220 GWh of energy a year. The site became famous as it was used to film the opening jump scene in the James Bond movie “GoldenEye” (1995). From afar it looks like every other mega structure. But from closer and different angles, someone can witness very interesting shapes and patterns.

Alex, is a passionate self-educated amateur, fascinated by the power of images. Above all, he is intrigued by the spontaneity of the moment, where perception and emotions combine. He believes in perpetual learning and self development. For many years due to family and professional reasons his long term interest for photography took the backseat. In 2015, he rediscovered his passion and slowly, but steadily, with dedication and belief, managed to feel comfortable enough and started showcasing his captions.
