Alternative life on the periphery of Europe, by Alex Strohl

Para ser feliz Alex Strohl solo necesita su cámara, su pareja Andrea Dabene, y la naturaleza. Y es que con el azul como color favorito por su fuerte vinculación con los lagos que tiene a diez minutos de su casa en Vancouver, este madrileño de nacimiento que se trasladó a Canadá con 19 años, ha escogido la profesión de fotógrafo de aventuras. En el video que os presentamos hoy, una producción de Creator Class y  dirigida por Liam Mitchell, podéis conocer más de cerca de este joven y a su último proyecto Alternative Living.

Se trata de un libro en el que Strohl ha querido inmortalizar el día a día de aquellos que han elegido como modus vivendi lugares remotos de la vieja Europa. “El primer objetivo del libro era responder al por qué; que ganan estas personas al sacrificarse de este modo? ¿Qué hace que estas personas quieran vivir de manera alternativa y alejarse del conformismo?”, cuenta Alex. “Sin embargo –prosigue-, a medida que avanzó el viaje la pregunta  pareció volverse hacia adentro para acabar cuestionándome ‘¿por qué vivo como lo hago?’”.

Amantes de la naturaleza y de la belleza, coged aire y abrid los cinco sentidos, porque la inmensidad de las imágenes que vienen a continuación merecen la máxima atención. Esto son momentos de la vida alternativa en Europa.

To be happy Alex Strohl needs only his camera, his partner in life Andrea Dabene, and nature. And with blue as his favorite color because of the strong relationship with the lakes, only ten minutes away from his home in Vancouver, this Spaniard born in Madrid moved to Canada at the age of 19, and has chosen the career of adventure photographer. In the video that we introduce today, a production of  Creator Class directed by Liam Mitchell, you may learn more about this young man and his latest project: Alternative Living.

This is a book in which Strohl intended to immortalize the daily routines of those who have chosen as modus vivendi to live in remote places of older Europe. «The first goal of the book was to explain why; What led these people to sacrifice themselves in such a way? What made these people want to live in an alternative fashion and flounce away from conformism?»states Alex. «However, he continues, as the journey progressed the question seemed to turn inward and I ended up questioning myself: Why do I live as I do?'».

Lovers of nature and beauty, take a deep breath of air and unlatch your senses, because the grandness of the following images deserve your greatest attention. These are moments of alternative life in Europe.
