Alexi was born in Wimbledon in August, 1975, a beginning that belied his extraordinary background.
His mother, of Peruvian descent, met his polish father in Paris, where his family had fled to during World War 2, leaving all homes and belongings behind.
He grew up in Paris and London, moving to Botswana with his mother and English stepfather. It was his stepfather who gave him his first camera at the age of 11.
His serious interest in photography developed whilst traveling in Peru during a gap year at college.
His interest later shifted from social commentary to narrative based/fashion photography whilst studying his degree at the University of Brighton, in the UK.
Introduced to Mario Testino whilst making the rounds in London with his university portfolio, Lubomirski soon joined him in Paris as his assistant.
He worked with Testino for 4 years, travelling the globe from Rio to NYC, South Africa to Scotland, during which time he met his girlfriend, the model Jacquetta Wheeler, also 'discovered' by Mario, 2 years earlier.
Despite being on an airplane every 5 or so days, he did manage to produce a few test shoots, one of which was seen and placed immediately in The Face by Katie Grand.
He soon left Testino, shooting his first commissioned story and those following, for The Face with the editor Grace Cobb.
He was later introduced to Harper's Bazaar, again by Katie.
He has been shooting fashion stories and celebrity covers (Renee Zelleweger, Cate Blanchett, Gwen Stefani, Demi Moore and Catherine Zeta Jones) for the magazine ever since, working with such fashion industry stalwarts as Brana Wolf.
He recently relocated to NYC in Sept 2005.
