Alex Belov (b. 1986) is a journalist and a photographer, currently resides in Yerevan, Armenia.
As a street photographer and as a documentarian, he focuses on researching man-made spaces and their social interpretation. Drawing from his own unique sensory experiences, he at the same time stays rooted in the works of renowned masters of art, photography, and cinema. In his works, the sensual interpretation and pursuit of Bergman’s “experience of collective dreams” takes over the authenticity of documental evidence of the moment.
Alex is a member of the International Federation of Artists (IFA), as well as Metropolis, League of Culture and Art Workers. He holds multiple international art awards including the Metropolis silver medal. Many of his works have received international acclaim and are pursued by art collectors.
In addition to his passion for photography, Alex is a professional graphic designer and tutor of the British Higher School of Art and Design, occasionally involved in the cinema industry.
