I'm Alexander Forst, working under the artistic names LXPHOTON, PORTRAITPHOTON, STREETPHOTON. Originally from Berlin, Switzerland has been my creative home for over a decade.

Photography is my passion, my art, and my calling. I create cinematic fine-art portraits defined by emotional depth, precise lighting, and a distinctive aesthetic.
