    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.

    The series 'Bullying' was started after a young boy committed suicide because of bullying. As a photographer and a pedagogue I thought I should make a photographical statement. I started the series in 2016 and in 2018 (dec) 100 portraits (analog) were in an exhibition for 3 months. The portraits were accompanied by 7 illustrative photos and 14 stories of both bullies and bully victims. I photographed both bullies and bully victims as I wanted to prove we can't see the difference and the bully shows this kind of behavior often for a reason. Respect is what we lack.
