Alexi was born in England to a Peruvian mother and a Polish father. at the ageof eight, he moved to Botswanawith 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 travelling in Peru during a gap year at college.
His interest later shifted from social commentary to narrative based/fashion photography while studing his degree at the University of Brighton, in Uk.
Introduced to Mario Testino whilst making the rounds in London with his university portfolio, Lubormirski soon joined him in Paris as his assistant. He travelled the globe with Testino for 4 years, and 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 thoose 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 ( Demi Moore, Cate Blanchett, Gwen Stefani) for the magazine ever since.
