About

Alex Skolnick is well known as a globetrotting guitarist of metal and jazz (best known for Testament and his own trio). Recently, his career enhanced by a sudden appreciation for and dedication to fine photography, originally intended as a means to capture scenes from his numerous international travels. By 2020, no sooner had his skills developed (pun not intended), than the touring industry halted. Armed with a bicycle and a Leica, he shifted his focus (also no pun intended) to capturing NYC both as a pandemic ghost town and a a center of social uprising. He is grateful to the wonderful community of photographers who’ve been encouraging his work (including a few who’ve previously shot him in concert). This site is devoted exclusively to his photographic work and will be updated regularly. His photo IG is @skolnickpics and his regular IG & Twitter is @alexskolnick. His music site is alexskolnick.com.
