Alexander Khokhlov
Russia
Nominee
"Thrill of Competition"
Biography: I was born in Calcutta, India, on May 9, 1982 and am now based in Moscow working with my wife Veronica. I commenced photography in 2008 as a commercial studio photographer. My experiments with beauty portraits and art resulted in the acclaimed series Weird Beauty and 2D or not 2D made in 2012 and 2013. The art-photography I create is always based on people's transformation. In most of my works the human identity takes the back seat and the models are used as a canvas for well-known shapes to trick your eyes. Each project is a huge team work, a great game with words, imagination and illusions.
