Why am I photographing the world around me? Because I spent my life traveling, growing up in four continents.
Now, I am based in Baden-Wuttemburg, Germany.
I was raised traveling; Latin America, Asia, and Europe. Making sense of what I see, feel, and hear, is what happens when I look in the viewfinder. It's done with an appreciation for the light, the spaces, and the movements in these.

“Alex Quesada was my go-to photographer when I was the Times’ Central America/Caribbean Bureau Chief between 1999 and 2004. During that time, we worked assignments from Haiti and Cuba to Guatemala and Puerto Rico.
More importantly, Alex is a full partner in the story: he likes to discuss the story’s main themes as we report, so he has a full understanding of the issues, which only gives his images an added dimension. I have found him to be always up on current events, as well as being incredibly well-read on politics and Latin America.

“Actually, I worked alongside Alex a few times while I was a reporter for NPR in Latin America and in Haiti. And I have to say there are few shooters out there with such steady nerves, good humor, insight and tenacity as Alex. His fine work as a photographer speaks for itself. Just check out his website. http://www.alexquesada.com” March 23, 2012

“Alex Quesada and I met on a LA Times assignment in 2004. He handled himself on a complicated and sensitive assignment with a great deal of professionalism. I was particularly impressed by the fact he requested a full briefing on the story before he began to shoot.
