Alex Ramos (b. 1989) is a photographer based out of Oakland, CA. His fascination for railroads from an early age paved the foundation for his photographic technique and many of his projects. Being from the Bay Area, his interest of the Western United States has led him to further investigate historically significant areas and culturally relevant themes.
