Alex Huda is a Canadian-born, South Asian photographer who explores the depth of identity and belonging through portraiture and speculative fiction. He completed his graduate studies at The Creative School of Toronto Metropolitan University, where he was featured on the Top 30 Under 30 list. He began his career as a trainee producer on numerous feature films and TV series, including the Golden Globe-Emmy nominee Into the West, executive produced by Steven Spielberg, and Little House on the Prairie for Walt Disney.

He wrote, produced and directed an award-winning short film, Call Me A Paki (2005), which chronicles his confrontation with racism in Canada, and his reclamation of cultural identity. The film had its world premiere broadcast on CBC Television and was screened at over 20 festivals. His photo book, Love Wins (2013), about the separation wall in Israel and Palestine was featured in The New York Times and nominated for the Palestine Book Award.

In 2015, he started teaching film photography in schools across South East Asia and currently teaches film and media studies in Hong Kong. He created a series of autobiographical visual storytelling projects, Alex in Lotusland (2018), The Unapologetic Traveler (2022), and Alex in Wonderland (2024), which were all nominated for the Webby Award. His debut novel, Brown Boy Barely Blossoms was published by Iguana Books (2023).

During his Director’s Fellowships (2025, 2026) at the International Center of Photography in New York, he developed his long-term project, Love Like a Monster, about the Voidpunk counterculture - a new movement in Hong Kong, where people forge non-human identities for empowerment. This project was awarded the Jury Top 5 and an Honorable Mention at the 2025 International Photography Awards, and an Honorable Mention at the 2025 Analog Sparks International Film Photography Awards. This project was also a Finalist for the Goethe-Institut’s Art Prize and was part of a group exhibition at the Goethe Gallery in Hong Kong. In 2025, he was invited by the National Geographic Storytellers Collective to develop Love Like a Fox, the final instalment of his long-term project, Love Like a Monster. The following year, he received the FotoFilmic Scholarship to attend their yearlong mentoring program, and to exhibit Love Like a Fox during the 2027 Paris Photo week.
