THE OPTIMIST, by Alicia Bock

Alicia Bock's journey as a fine art and lifestyle photographer began with a childhood gift of her first camera, igniting a lifelong passion for capturing moments in time. Raised amidst the picturesque landscapes of Michigan and Florida, she draws continuous inspiration from the rich colors and natural beauty of these environments. Fond memories of her grandparents' garden and the nostalgic allure of old Polaroids serve as enduring wellsprings of creativity for Alicia. Her evocative imagery reflects a harmonious blend of personal nostalgia and aesthetic exploration. Alicia's work has been featured in major movies (Sex and The City), and TV shows (Castle, Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother). Her photographs have also been included in People Magazine: Style Edition, Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, Bella Grace and Traverse Magazine.
