for joining Chris on this journey. Together, let’s fill the world with smiles and celebrate the art of seeing beauty in the unexpected.
Welcome to howdysmiles.com, the creative home of Chris Alex, a photographer and artist from Germany with a lifelong passion for capturing the beauty of the world through his lens. Photography has been a part of Chris's life since childhood, serving as means through which he explores the art of aesthetics, creativity, and the subtle moments often overlooked by others.
Chris’s photography is more than just images; it’s a celebration of life’s unexpected, fleeting, and imperfectly beautiful moments. Each photograph reflects his deep appreciation for the world’s many facets — from the spontaneous spark of a passing second to the quiet beauty of a hidden scene.
His work is rooted in the belief that every moment, no matter how small, carries the potential to inspire joy, evoke emotion, and remind us of the many smiles around us.
