Informazioni sull'autore

Alexander Chekmenev (*1969) started his career in 1988 as an apprentice photographer in a studio in his home city of Luhansk. He began photographing people on the streets and in their homes to show the devastating effects of the economic crisis after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. In particular, his work gave an intimate and unique perspective on the turmoil caused to the Donbas mining industry as Ukraine underwent significant social and political upheaval. He moved to Kyiv in 1997, where he still works today as a photojournalist, using the medium to document the progress made and the challenges faced by his country and its people through peacetime, revolutions and war. Chekmenev's work has been internationally published in The New York Times, The Guardian, TIME Magazine and others.
