Alex Prager was born in Los Angeles in 1979. Her interest in art began in adolescence, but it was in her twenties that she began to focus on photography after being inspired by the work of William Eggleston. Her first solo show came in 2007 and introduced her as an emerging talent. Several solo and group shows have followed.
Her images are dramatic, taking the look of 1950’s film stills using bright colours and pretty girls dressed in vintage clothing and wigs. Her most recent show entitled ‘Week-end’ opened in Los Angeles, New York, London and Japan this year, while from September she is exhibiting for the first time at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in the New Photography exhibition.
