Alexander Orion
Orion grew up in some of the busiest streets in Brazil. As a child in Sao Paulo he became accustomed to full sidewalks during the day and the din of the traffic at night. Orion was quick to respond to the appeal of the streets and his first graffiti was done at the age of fourteen before discovering the camera at 22. Having exhibited in both Brazil, the States and France in 2008 he was named in the Sunday Times as one of the Top Ten Talents to watch.
