Born in San Jose, Costa Rica, Alejandro was raised in North Carolina after immigrating to the United States in 1985. His fascination with black and white still photography was sparked by a high school educator who introduced him to the works of renowned photographers such as Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Edward Weston. This initial interest in still photography spurred Alejandro's exploration of the art and technicalities of motion picture cinema.

After graduating from the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Alejandro commenced his career in Los Angeles, where he served as a camera assistant, focus puller, and operator, eventually earning recognition as an award-winning cinematographer. His extensive clientele encompasses entities such as Oracle, Microsoft, Toyota, Ford, Fenty, Ralph Lauren, Revlon, eBay, American Express, T-Mobile, MLB, Disney, Hulu, HBO, Warner Bros, NBC/Universal, Capitol Records, and Atlantic Records, among others. Notable figures he has captured include John Travolta, The Rock, Kim Kardashian, Ansel Elgort, Halle Berry, Rihanna, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Moby, and Marc Anthony.

Alejandro's portfolio has been showcased in the new LAX Tom Bradley International Terminal (Moment Factory/LAX) as well as in the esteemed American Cinematographer Magazine. In 2019, his film "Slipping Into Darkness" clinched the esteemed Best Film award at the Official Latino Film and Arts Festival, securing placement across all MAX/HBO platforms.

Furthermore, Alejandro's notable achievement includes his selection as a 2023 finalist in the Commercial Directors Diversity Program (CDDP). A collaborative initiative stemming from negotiations between the Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) and the Directors Guild of America (DGA), the CDDP seeks to foster diversity and bolster the representation of minority and women directors in commercials and marketing communications. 

Alejandro's creative vision is centered around the narrative form, artfully illuminating the subtleties of characters and stories through masterful control of light, shadow, and framing.
