Alejandro Meter

Pro Type: Photographer

Born in Argentina and raised in the US, I am a freelance photographer based in San Diego, California, specializing in portrait photography. I have worked with clients, both domestically and abroad, collaborating on various assignments, many of which involve the creative arts and social awareness.

In addition to short-term assignments, I also enjoy working on long-term projects. For the last few years, I have been photographing Latin American writers in a variety of contexts such as portraiture in the US-Mexico borderlands, Crime Fiction Writers, and the Latin American Jewish Diaspora, among others, shooting almost always on location.

My work has appeared in both print and digital media in the United States, Latin America, and Europe. I have also exhibited in the United States, Mexico, and Argentina.

My educational journey includes an undergraduate degree from California State University at Northridge, a Master of Arts degree from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and a Ph.D. in Latin American Studies from the University of Pittsburgh. Over the years, I have studied with many great photo teachers at the International Center of Photography in New York City, Western Kentucky University's Mountain Workshops, and at Palm Springs Photo Festival, just to name a few.
