Oklahoma photographer Alex Eischeid casts herself as the star of her home state’s offbeat charm, shielding her eyes from the blistering sun among rows of shipping containers.

“‘Freight Expectations’ is part of my self-portrait series ‘Surprise! Oklahoma,’ exploring the weird and wonky that my home state has to offer. I love shooting in spaces most people wouldn’t consider beautiful.”

Alex's Profile

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Alex Eischeid is an award winning conceptual self portrait photographer based in Norman, Oklahoma.

Her work draws from her experiences as a woman and a mother, using the self portrait as both subject and symbol to explore identity, expectation, vulnerability, and resilience. Blending surreal elements with emotional realism, her images exist somewhere between the familiar and the imagined, creating narrative driven scenes that invite genuine introspection.

Beyond her photographic practice, Alex is an educator who teaches both online and in person, with a focus on conceptual photography, creative editing, lighting, and intentional storytelling. Her work is regularly shown in solo and group exhibitions locally and internationally.
