Alexa Palumbo Martin - AP Photography: Recent Works

I'm a young photographer born and raised in Ithaca, and my love for photography started when I was quite young. Most of what I've learned has been self-taught, primarily through spending time outside with my camera and learning as I go, and I have taken a film photography class to expand my experience and knowledge. Wildlife has always been my biggest passion, especially birds! I also enjoy bringing my camera with me whenever I travel, using new places as a chance to challenge myself and grow as a photographer. This exhibition is divided into three collections that reflect those interests: local photography, travel photography, and black-and-white film photography. With photos from my backyard in Ithaca, to the Camino de Santiago in Spain, and temples in Cambodia, I use my camera as a way to explore the world.

Outside of photography, I'm a student who recently graduated from Tompkins Cortland Community College in May and will be attending the University of Vermont this August to study Sustainability, Ecology, and Policy. I'm looking forward to exploring a new landscape, discovering Vermont's wildlife and natural beauty, and continuing to grow both behind the camera and through my studies. No matter where I am, photography has always been my way of slowing down, paying attention, and sharing the moments that inspire me.
