I've known photographer Alexis Dubus on-and-off for over 20 years. He's now 46 and we first met on the comedy circuit when we were both comics back in 2002, when he was 23 - literally half our lives ago. He's dabbled in many different forms of standup, including playing the French character Marcel Lucont. Before this, he started a sideline in photographing performers, and has never stopped. I caught up with him over Zoom to ask about his two-decade-long photography career.
"I was doing photography as a student," he tells me. "I did darkroom training at university and got properly into the film side of it. Joined the Photography Society and did a few little bits and pieces with them. Uni is also where I really got into performing, as there were loads of performance societies as well. That's how I ended up doing Edinburgh for the first time, in 1998.
