About Alen Palander:

Alen Palander is a Toronto-based Creative Director and Photographer. Throughout his education and work life in Urban Design and Architecture, Alen dabbled in photography and filmmaking as a hobby, with no formal training in the field. Amassing a fan base in the hundreds of thousands worldwide, Alen’s brand and social media platforms grew, new and exciting opportunities began to unfold, and he quickly realized that his hobby had become his livelihood. Alen now works with some of the world’s largest brands including Mercedes-Benz, F1, BOSS, Air Canada, and more while also running his production company, Palander Studios Inc.

Alen draws much of his inspiration for his visual pieces from architecture, design, and travel to distant locales. With the propensity to pick up the camera and capture the world at a moment’s notice, his lust for creating propels his perspective and represents something much bigger as he continues to seek the extraordinary in the ordinary.

To see more of Alen’s work you can find him on Instagram and YouTube or head over to his website at www.alenpalander.com.
