BIO
Bali-based Alina Vlasova is a Russian photographer, with a theatrical background. Her professional photography career has already spanned two decades and encompassed a varied spectrum of subjects. She constantly strives to find a balance between her array of work and her diverse convictions. She travels the world and embraces the challenges each setting provides. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and Alina takes us on her journey of discovery, with every project she takes on.

The secret of her skill lies in the high aesthetic demands, striving to ensure that the art object was presented maximum expressiveness and technical perfection.

QUOTATIONS
“Alina Vlasova belongs to the circle of the most outstanding photographers, which is almost completely absent in Russia today. The secret of her skill lies in the high aesthetic demands, striving to ensure that the art object was presented maximum expressiveness and technical perfection. Her artistic search is often associated with the problem of corporeality and the position of the body in space. It is sometimes reminiscences, sound bites, which are a kind of dialogue with the titans of the era of Quattrocento. But it is not the shine of immediacy, nor talk about important things. This monologue sent into eternity and striking artistic flair, which is the author’s name, recognizable artistic talent.”
Oleg Shishkin
“Ultimately, photography for her is not just fixing interesting objects and people in time but an attempt to watch the world changing. ‘It’s also a way to reflect my own inner world, an attempt to explain
myself, my emotions, my feelings, life values. It’s like soul searching.’ Alina confesses.”
Time Out Magazine
“A Russian theatre actor turnes her childhood dream of photography into a thriving career.”
