ABOUT
Alexander Namrok is a Danish–Moroccan documentary photographer based in Copenhagen. He approaches photography as a way of asking questions rather than providing answers, using the camera as a tool for reflection, dialogue, and ways of seeing. Working from curiosity instead of certainty, his practice is grounded in close engagement with people, places, and lived experience.
His work centres on masculinity, vulnerability and identity, examined through personal history, intimate relationships, and encounters with strangers. Namrok explores how these themes are shaped by culture, social structures and time. Often using his own body as a point of departure, self-representation becomes a space where intimacy, doubt, and contradiction can emerge.
His methodology moves between self-portraits, snapshots, staged images, archival material, and video. This layered approach reflects his understanding of identity as fluid and negotiated, shifting between individual experience and collective frameworks rather than fixed conclusions.
Recent projects investigate questions of origin and belonging, including extended work in Morocco reflecting his dual cultural background. Through long-term presence, shared physical practices, and everyday rituals, he engages with young men’s lives and masculinities shaped by tradition, faith, and social expectation. By sharing personal experiences, Namrok aims to create space for connection, empathy, and critical reflection.
