Alex Koloskov is a well-known commercial photographer who has shot
several advertising campaigns for Nespresso, Google, Marc Jacobs,
Marchesa Perfume and Godiva. In Koloskov’s own words, he describes his
photographic career: “I’m a mix of technicality, innovation
and out of the box thinking. I love taking on technical challenges in
anything I do, including photography. As a photographer, I am completely
self-taught. I don’t know the rules, nor do I care about them. I don’t
follow the herd, I do it my way. That’s turned
out to be invaluable in what I do. It has allowed me to experiment, see
outside the borders, challenge the authorities and create a stunning
photography style that is crisp, sharp and crystal clear”.
