Biographical Information (About Me)
I was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 4th February 1965.
The passion for photography come a long time a go.
I start doing fire photography in 2003, during a big fire wave in Portugal, and with my wife, we have visit the major fire scenes, and taking photos.
Since there, starts a coloboration with the local Fire Departement in Alcabideche, Cascais, with the support of the Captain, and the other Firefigherts.
I have participated in several situations related with the Firefighters; Wildfires, urban fires, parades, drills, local events, and extreme atmospherics conditions that require Firefighters interventions.
My photos have been in a public site for the first time in IOFP Daily News.
Participation in a nacional fire photo contest, and I stay in the 3th place.

Hi Tomaz.
Thanks for your nice comment. Your work is excellent to. Of course we have similarities because both Greece and Portugal are in the Mediteranian sea.Same landscapes and same problems every summer. Each day and another fire..... The summer of 2007 was devastating for both countries....
Anyway, keep up the good work.
Sincerely
Alex Mallios
Hi Tomaz, Thank you for your note.I think life is serious enough and a bit of fun for all of us is important, especially in our profession.I still have images of the Playmobil fire photographer because I am a bit aware of us want to make.
Thanks Tomaz, your very kind. As soon as I can steal some time, I plan on going through my archives and selecting some that will hopefully be of interest. I'm happy to see your enthusiasm and involvement with the websites. It will be people like you that will help make everyones efforts successful. Thanks again my friend.
Tomaz, Thanks for the note on my photos! And what a coincidence that was - this new group is giving us a way to meet others with our same interests around the world. What a great experience! Who would have thought that I would be talking to fellow fire photographers in Portugal!! I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.
