About
Alexander Horn (1968 - August 7, 2016) was a German latex fetish photographer and owner of several websites, such as LatexNews, L.A.TEX and AlexanderHorn.com.
Born in 1968, he soon started to discover his fetish for shiny clothing. During a trip to San Francisco in the 1980s, he discovered latex clothing and bought his first latex outfits there at Stormy Leather.
In the early 1990s, at a time when the Internet was still in its infancy, he did not find the kind of fetish imagery that he was looking for. At the time, there were hardly any websites that featured original fetish photography. He decided to help fill that void and started his free L.A.TEX Website in 1995, featuring his own fetish photography. Basically he created the website that he had been looking for.
Simultaneously to his photography, he also worked in video, including some CGI. His music video "Schall" for techno project "Elektrochemie LK" even won an award. As his trademark, he added a brief latex scene to the video.
His latex fetish was mainly for catsuits, inflatable outfits, masks and latex bondage wear, both on his models and on himself. In his photography he preferred futuristic settings like modern architecture to the classic settings of decay as found in old factories, castles or other popular locations.
During the years, his technical skills as a photographer and the equipment used improved significantly, most notably with the switch to digital photography in 2002.
Alexander was regular in the international fetish party scene since 1992 and has developed his skills as a party photographer in addition to his studio and outdoor photography.
He has also many contributions to this site as User:LatexAlexX.
