Alex Barnes is a cinematographer and a grip & electric technician based in Phoenix, AZ.

With over five years of experience in narrative film, commercial work, and music videos, and coming from a strong lighting background, he builds images from the ground up, shaping tone and depth to suit the project’s visual language.

Travel has broadened his perspective, sharpening his eye for subtle details and the ways different environments influence a story. That openness keeps his work grounded and responsive to the world of each project.

His approach centers on controlled composition, purposeful movement, and visuals that communicate clearly and efficiently. He thrives in collaborative settings, drawing strength from the shared vision developed with directors and department heads.

The goal is to make visuals that are honest in light, texture, and intention.
