"Alexander has been shooting Cairo Knife Fight for years now; going far out of his way to be a part of the bands experience all over NZ, and helping to share those moments through his work with our fans. When we were putting together the artwork for our debut album The Colossus and the accompanying EP The Isolator, Alexander went above and beyond to help us create iconic imagery that we're immensely proud of. He's absolutely the most enthusiastic and accommodating photographer we've ever worked with and I can't recommend him highly enough."
Nick Gaffaney - Cairo Knife Fight

"What separates the great artists from the mundane, is whether or not one is able to bring something new, something unique, to the viewing audience. In todays world of 'x-factor' mentality (where technical merit is the goal - not originality), it is a refreshing joy to view the photography work of Alexander Hallag. Clearly, Hallag focuses on the emotion and feel of his subjects as prime importance. By doing this, his photos are alive with their own personality, their own soul. This is something rarely seen in the world of photography today."
Mont Sherar - Author of Twilight of the Mortals

"Alexander Hallag was one of the friendliest photographers I have ever dealt with. Extremely professional of artists, stages managers, and the direction of media. Most of all, his photographs captured our event and the people in it perfectly."
Ben Carey - Online Content Manager, Rhythm Group Entertainment

"I’ve known Alexander for about 11 years now. I have been an avid follower of New Zealand music for years and it was with this following I discovered Alexander. I realized Alexander was the creator of what have become my favourite live music images of all time. New Zealand is so lucky to have him as the power, precision and emotion that he has the ability to capture is truly breathtaking. His experience internationally and his incredible work ethic has cemented his status as a premier music photographer. I reached out to Alexander a while back to help me with my own photography. I wanted to learn technical skills as well as learn how to develop the timing to take a truly memorable photograph. Alexander provided me with the knowledge and yet the most important thing he gave me, and it’s something that still exists within me today is an unrelenting passion for taking pictures. Alexander takes pictures with soul and emotion. Whilst we use machines to capture a story it’s the person behind the machine who really tells it how it is. He is a hero to me, he was my inspiration to travel across the globe to pursue photography as a career. His work will always continue to inspire and his passion will be passed on to others for years to come. Arohanui brother!"

"After over 10 years of performing live I have one photograph that I think is good enough to hang in my apartment. That photograph was taken by Alexander Hallag. I can't think of a higher compliment to give to a photographer."

"Alexander, a mighty photographer."
