Alexander Perri, a Toronto native, developed a passion for visual storytelling early in life, often experimenting with his father's SLR cameras. His interest in photography and imagery naturally evolved into a fascination with filmmaking, spending countless hours studying behind-the-scenes featurettes of classic films like the "Indiana Jones" and original "Star Wars" trilogies. Perri pursued formal studies in Image Arts - Photography at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and later earned a Diploma of Photography from the Photography Institute in Vancouver.
