ALEXANDER KABANOV

Photographer in Dorset, Wimborne

I have been working as a professional photographer since 2010, with experience spanning wedding, documentary, event, cultural, advertising, and performance photography. My early career was rooted in portrait photography. I worked alongside several event agencies while also serving as an in-house photographer for a petrochemical company from 2011 to 2017. During this period I deepened my documentary practice, completing a course with renowned photojournalist Sergey Maximishin in 2015 and publishing several series on ballet, rural towns, and industry. I also studied documentary photography with Andrey Polikanov, Natalia Udartseva, and Artyom Chernov. From 2017, my work expanded into advertising photography and diplomatic environments. I served as in-house photographer for Indian Embassies and worked alongside the British Embassy in Moscow until my move to the UK in 2022. I also worked as a photographer and a digital marketer for the Bolshoi Ballet Academy and Russian Ballet International. At that stage, I photographed various ballet productions at the Bolshoi Theatre, Stanislavsky Ballet Theatre, Kremlin Ballet and the Moscow Ballet Company. Since relocating to Dorset in 2022, I have focused on wedding and event and sports photography across the South of England.
