Photography Guest Of The Week Alexey Pivovarov


Just twenty-nine years old, photojournalist Alexey Pivovarov is making quite a name for himself. In fact, he's actually based in two countries, Italy and Russia. Alexey is a native of Chelyabinsk, the capital of the South Ural region of the Soviet Union, and graduated from the Saint Petersburg State University of Culture. In 2004 he began working at Prospekt, an Italian photography agency, and has specialized in photojournalism since.

Not only does Alexey research his subject while capturing images that stand out for their candid portrayals, he writes about what he sees and how he feels with great understanding. Alexey's family is growing with the addition of his new son Ivan but he has found the time to post a couple of great photo stories at Gaia Photos where, like me, he is a member.

If you don't know about Gaia Photos yet, it's a group of photojournalists that is starting to become a great resource for editors from around the world needing to enhance their media products.

Now that you know a little bit about Alexey Pivovarov, surf on over HERE to see a bit of his photography. You can also keep up with Alexey by following his blog just like I do! While you are at it, please have a look at Gaia Photos too!
