My name is Alexandr. I was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan and in 2008 I moved to St. Petersburg, Russia to become a robotics engineer. But then I found myself as a photographer. And here I am now - making photos and videos.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite writer is Erich Maria Remarque. And mostly I like to read XX century literature.

Woody Allen and Quentin Tarantino - are my favorite directors. But I'm watched a lot of great movies from totally different directors, so it's very hard to say which one is the best :)
