ALEX JOCHIM is an Omaha, NE based photographer, community organizer, and gallery operator. With his photography, he documents people, places, and things that are particularly connected to his world: shooting travels, friends, family, community, and anything inspiring to him. He typically shoots 35mm film with a Canon AE-1, but often utilizes alternative film types, cameras, or techniques. His photos are more often candid, but sometimes inescapably posed.
In the professional world, he is the co-founder and director of BFF Omaha, a local arts nonprofit building community through arts engagement. He is also founder, curator, & co-director of Petshop, a community art space housing artist studios, galleries, co-working & public event space. Through these endeavors, he has also played a role in numerous community events, projects, and programs, including the MaMO Gallery, the New American Arts Festival, Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards, and Benson Out Back (alleyway improvement initiative).
He has exhibited locally in Omaha and Lincoln and outside Nebraska in Council Bluffs, IA; Denver, CO; New York, NY; and Cadiz, Spain. Jochim received his Bachelor's Degree in Journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
