Alexey was born in Samara, a city on the bend of the Volga River, in Russia in the late 1990s. At the age of 13, he first discovered photography during a family road trip across the island of Rhodes. Since then, a spirit of adventure has remained deeply embedded in both his work and his approach to shooting.
At 18, he began pursuing photography seriously. By 23, he was drawn to fashion photography, and his very first works in this new direction were published by PAP Magazine and KALTBLUT Magazine. A year later, Alexey began his professional career as a fashion photographer with a campaign for a techwear footwear brand, followed by a continuous series of lookbooks, catalogues, and image campaigns for clothing brands and concept stores.
Today, while based in Russia, Alexey works between Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Samara, while also traveling to shoot in Israel.
