About the body of work: Fire Island "Iconic Photos" - The Advocate "With 'Fire Island,' Geana truly comes into himself as a creative, documenting the lifestyles of the gay enclave in all its joy and opulence, resulting in a richly layered commentary on both personal and social journeys." - Cultbytes "Photographer Alex Geana has captured the spirit of Fire Island with his photos...document[ing] the island's beauties, bitches, and babes as they create an alternate universe where gay is queen." - Michael Musto, Paper Magazine About the artist Alex Geana is a distinguished photographer whose prolific career spans over 500 fashion shows and a diverse portfolio of commercial clients, including Donna Karan, HBO, and Cointreau. His work is widely published across the web, bridging both commercial and fine art spheres. Alex is the author of the best-selling book "Fire Island: Photographs". His fine art photography is held in private collections and featured in two museums. In June 2015, Alex's debut solo fine art show, "Intended Consequences," was held at the Leslie-Lohman Project Space in SoHo.
