On a foggy morning I met the spring. “It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.” Rainer Maria Rilke Spring is the most beautiful season of the year for me. The whole world around us wakes up from the long sleep. First leaves start to grow, birds start to sing louder and you feel yourself more alive and full of energy. I made this photo as a way to celebrate this beautiful time. It is a self portrait. This photo was exhibited in Blank Wall Gallery in Athens, Greece. And also it was exhibited during Chania Photo Festival in Greece. Fine Art Premium print on Hahnemühle paper. Comes signed and with certificate of authenticity.

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.
