About

My name is Alex Belov (b. 1986). A journalist and a photographer, currently resides in Yerevan, Armenia.

Biography

As a street photographer and documentary photographer, I focus on exploring the human environment. All my life I dreamed of telling people stories about people and photography became a language for me. I travel to compare and contrast and create narrative projects.

I was born in Moscow, but moved after the start of the Russian-Ukrainian War. I am a member of the International Federation of Artists (IFA), as well as Metropolis, the League of Cultural and Art Workers. I have won a number of international art awards and have participated in international and in-house exhibitions. Many of my works have received international recognition and are in demand among art collectors.

In addition to photography, I work in the field of graphic design and write articles on culture and art. Since 2021, I have been teaching design at the British Higher School of Design, giving lectures on art and photography.
