Alexandra Henry is a photographer based in New York City. Her body of work explores architecture, graffiti, and unembellished details of densely populated areas. This fascination with vast urban environments and the universal reality of contemporary city life stands in stark contrast to her rural upbringing in New Mexico. She has been twice-recognized as a CurateNYC Emerging Artist and her photographs have been internationally exhibited and published in various magazines and online. She is currently focused on a documentary film project called Street Heroines that follows female street artists creating pieces in North & South America. I recently had the chance to speak with her about this project, as well as her development as a photographer documenting female graffiti artists in various cities around the world.
