BEAUTY & HAIR PHOTOGRAPHY Mar 2015

Moscow: Alexander Khokhlov

Alexander Khokhlov is a Moscow-based photographer renowned worldwide for his creative projects. Unconventional ideas and a daring approach to common shots is his calling card. Alexander's highly talked-about series 'Weird Beauty' and '2D or not 2D' were produced between 2012 and 2013 and became famous across the globe - '2D or not 2D' was included in Design Collector’s top 10 Russian projects of 2013.

The result of a reincarnation of Marge Simpson made by Alexander in 2014 was scary but attractive - the YouTube backstage video has received over 1,500 000 views and remains popular. The combination of unusual ideas, photographic skills and careful retouching helps him to create any visual solution - from amazing portraits and art-projects to peculiar collages for advertising.

His work has featured in global media including USA Today, CNN, Fox TV, NBC News, SBS (Australia), Scientific American MIND, Professional Photographer, Huffington Post, The Daily Mail, Wired, Holland Herald, Stern, 20 minutos, Phlearn.com and others. The work 'Silhouette' from his 'Weird Beauty' series featured in the book 'Illusion Confusion: The Wonderful World of Optical Deception' by Thames & Hudson (London).

Clients include Leo Burnett, Dubai Film Festival, KLM, Four Seasons Hotels, Scientific American, Saum und Viebahn, Make-up Atelier Paris and Symphonized Audio.
