ALEX MARUGA
Professional photographer based in Newton, Massachusetts
Photography is more than a profession for me. It is a lifelong pursuit. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Printing and Publishing, which gave me a strong foundation in visual composition and storytelling. Since 2008 I have worked extensively in professional photography, continuously refining my craft and expanding my creative and technical expertise.
My work focuses on portrait photography, including private headshots, family portraits, and professional business portraits. Whether I'm photographing an individual, a family or a corporate team, my goal is always the same: to create images that reflect authenticity, warmth and personality.
I also have extensive experience in event reportage photography. My work ranges from intimate family celebrations — such as birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs, anniversaries and graduations — to large-scale corporate events and conferences for international companies with over thousands of participants and celebrities. This experience has taught me how to work discreetly, efficiently and calmly, capturing meaningful moments as they unfold — whether in quiet, private settings or in a dynamic environments.
In addition, I bring a strong background in shooting weddings, where emotion, authenticity and attention to fleeting moments are essential.
My professional journey began in Eastern Europe and continues in the United States, where I now live with my family. I am excited to continue creating meaningful images here, blending my international experience with a heartfelt, personal approach and offering portrait, event and wedding photography that combines reliability, artistry, and emotional depth.
