INTRODUCING ALEXANDER ALEKSEENKO
I’m from Ukraine, where I currently live. It’s definitely not the place where I’d like to spend the rest of my time. I’m turning 23 this summer. I have started photography in 2008 out of curiosity and my interest in it keeps growing. I have taken pictures before, because my grandfather was a local director and photographer, but it was not my thing yet. I wanted to experiment, after being inspired by tons of random photos on the web, to see what result I could get. Getting better with every picture I take, that’s my goal. I would like to travel the world and work as a photographer on a movie set. Photography helped me find myself in a way and the places where I can get the cheapest film. I’m currently stuck with my p&s Ricoh R10 and loving it. This picture is taken at a Nirvana’s cover party dedicated to Kurt’s bday and hosted by a local night club. I was a bit buzzed and headed to the bar to have a drink and this guy was standing in front of me wearing a Cobain hoodie and his hair was lying on it like it was Kurt’s. It was surreal. I like Jerry Hsu’s attitude and style. He’s one of my favorite skateboarders and I do like his photography. I feel that he has his own vision of things around, so his shots are always exclusive.
