@Alexstrohl
Alex Strohl is based in Whitefish, Montana, and tells stories through photography and film. The deep sultry tones that feature in almost every photo can make you feel quite alone and a little cold. But they have also the power to cast your mind to pure tranquillity, enabling you – if only for a moment – to forget the busy life you lead.
