Travel photojournalist Alex Baguio represents GEV Magazine at The New York Times Travel Show – a spectacular international celebration which showcases 500 destinations around the world including domestic and international hot spots, familiar favorites and those under-the-radar escapes that are still relatively crowd free. Some of the crowd favorites were booths representing South Africa, Estonia, Morocco, Iceland, Turkey, Peru, Mexico, Curacao, Quebec, Indonesia, Japan, Antartica, Taiwan, Malaysia and India. Notable attendees were Julia Dimon (TV host, writer and travel expert ), Andrew McCarthy (American actor, award-winning travel writer and television director), Arthur Frommer ( travel writer, publisher and consumer advocate, and the founder of the Frommer’s series of travel guides) and Pauline Frommer (the creator of the Pauline Frommer’s Travel Guides – the award-winning guidebook series aimed at adult budget travelers).

Alex Baguio travels extensively, looking to fill his lens with images of new and different cultures in their architectural and natural surroundings. He waits for the photographer’s perfect moment when the sun creates new stories in the shadows and combines with simple lines and curves of his subject. His greatest joy is in capturing the song of color from people in their native garb or in the perfect rush that comes when he shoots the pure texture of a breeze through a valley of nature. Alex studied at New School and International Center of Photography in New York and has been recognized and awarded both in the local and global arenas for his superb work in fashion and portraiture photography. His photos have been published in the BBC News, Sky News, and New York Times Fall in Europe edition. Recently Alex has been honored by Canon for his photography “In the Parks”. He’s been the consistent 1st Place winner at the Pictorial Photographers of America since 2011.
