    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    Bio
    I'm a persistent travel photographer with focus on Asian Cultural-diversity. Expect impressions of the last frontiers, religious gatherings, archaic tribes, vital animism, dogmas and rituals of the rich and vivid Orient culture. I'd like to visualize the unique and only orally relayed rites and myths of the rare Adat-related animistic cultures, dawning in the South Pacific area. ?The Project shall enrich cultural dialogues in showing and sharing insights. Therefore it is also deeply in touch with unique ways of cultural expression and likes to contribute to their individual preservation.
