"Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." With this photo I want to remind people that it is more important to spread love than hate. Only with love we can we make the world a better place and build a brighter future. This photo was a shortlist winner in Sony World Photography Awards 2018. And was exhibited in Somerset House in London. It was also exhibited during Rotterdam Art Week 2018, as well as in Athens in Black Wall Gallery. It is a part of the series 'Healing inner wounds' which I made in 2017. Fine Art Premium matte print on Hahnemühle paper. Printed with 3cm white border. Comes signed and with certificate of authenticity. Also available in different sizes.
My name is Alexa Moon. I am a fine art photographer with Russian roots. Now I am living and creating in the small city Neumuesnter in North Germany. My photography journey began at the age of 19. That was the time when my family passed away and I realized in that moment that life is too short to do things that you don’t love. So I quit my university in Russia where I was studying political science before which I didn’t enjoy and came to Europe to follow this new philosophy and study art. Art helped me a lot to heal my inner wounds from the past and made me a better person. In my photography I raise topics that are important to me. I talk with the viewer about fear, loneliness, negativity, love, etc. And it helps me to improve myself. It is the best psychologist there is. I do mainly self portraits, because with me being a model and a photographer I can achieve a better result. Before I take a picture I have a concept in my head already. I ‘see’ the poses and expressions. So when I start modeling I know how the final picture should look like. I get inspired from the nature and the world around us. My best ideas came to me while walking in the mountains or sitting next to a beautiful lake. My work has been previously exhibited in the galleries in London, New York, Berlin, Rotterdam, Athens and Hamburg.
