ABOUT/ CV - Alec Castillo

Alec Castillo is a Brooklyn-based photographer and musician, best known as a member of the rock and roll band The Nude Party. His work is rooted in the world he inhabits - life on the road, fleeting encounters, and the quiet moments shared among friends. With a fly-on-the-wall approach and an eye for nuance, Alec captures images that feel both intimate and unguarded, often blurring the line between documentary and daydream.

His portfolio focuses on authentic human connection, youth culture, and the subtle tension between vulnerability and confidence. Whether he's photographing subcultures, self-expression, or the everyday poetry of friendship, Alec’s images are infused with a sense of immediacy and emotional honesty. He brings this same sensibility to his commercial and portrait work.
