About me
Hi, I'm Aleks, a multi-disciplinary creative with a Master's degree in Fashion Photography. Over the past 5 years, I've worked across various creative and commercial directions in photography, like corporate events and conceptual series and projects. I’ve also exhibited in a number of shows around the globe including London, Tokyo and Rome. With my interests lying in art, contemporary photography and fashion, I'm looking to apply & develop my creative skills in these areas as well as expand on my knowledge, to help wider audiences.

- Collage for London College of Fashion and National Saturday ClubI’m delighted to share the work I created for the UAL Insights, London College of Fashion and National Saturday Club. It took two months to develop this project. It was as stressful as it was enjoyable. Starting from scratch, I had no clue whether it would work out or not, but I had an idea and developed it until it ended up exactly as planned. ⠀ It is a 2 by 1 meter (6.5 x 3.3 ft) collage made of foam board.

However, I always leave the viewer to decide and layer the meaning. By looking at the world differently and seeing anything and everything as if always for the first time, I
- Jaded Town'Jaded town' is where the residents and the atmosphere have become weary, cynical, bored, and disillusioned. Whether it is due to economic decline, social issues, loss of faith, or a lack of positive vibes, the series doesn't intend to find an answer but rather to showcase the flip side of a metropolis. It portrays a town that has lost its vitality and enthusiasm. In his work, Aleks parallels environmental pollution and mental struggles. He sees a strong connection between the planet's pollutio
- SelfportraitOne of the biggest and most intimate works so far. Probably because I constantly and persistently try to define my work and identify myself within the daily routine. I can't complain, I am happy with what I have. However, I am constantly, and sometimes even desperately, looking for some form of success… Do you think it might be like catching my own shadow? Anyway, I can't say I've succeeded so far (in catching my shadow ��♂️�, but I'll let you know if and when I will). I wasn't defeated either.
