024, Alex Kittoe

024 - Alex Kittoe is the twenty-fourth in an ongoing Bi-Monthly series publishing the work of emerging photographers.

Alex Kittoe is a photographer and visual artist based in Kansas City. With a deep love for exploration and storytelling, his work reflects a desire to live a life driven by curiosity, emotion, and a sense of freedom. Whether in the stillness of the mountains or the movement of a crowded city street, Alex chases fleeting moments that feel cinematic, quiet scenes filled with atmosphere, memory, and mood.

Drawing from both personal experience and a constant pull toward the unknown, his photography holds a subtle tension: it captures the intimacy of a passing moment while evoking something timeless. He’s interested in the space between solitude and connection, in how light hits a window or a shadow stretches across the floor, and in the power of imagery to hold what words often miss.

His work spans continents and cultures but maintains a consistent emotional tone, a longing for something just out of reach and the joy of following that feeling wherever it leads. With a distinct use of colour, light, and atmosphere, his photographs invite stillness, evoke nostalgia and wanderlust, and create room for viewers to pause and reflect.

Alex’s images are rooted in travel and a sense of constant movement, but they’re ultimately about presence. He photographs not just to record what he sees but to document a life intentionally lived, a map of curiosity, feeling, and place. 

His work is both an escape and a mirror, offering a quiet reminder to pay attention to the beauty in the in-between.
