Hello there,
My name is Kristin (Kris) Aleksandrova (she/her), and I’ve been practising digital photography since 2015. Education – undergraduate diploma, BA in Photography (2023) and an MSc in Marketing with Brand Management, both from the University of Huddersfield, England.
Born in Bulgaria, I moved to live and study in the United Kingdom in 2018, and since then I have been able to build many friendships, expand my network and learn from professionals in the field of the creative industry.
Follow me on:
My practice is mostly commercial, based in a studio environment made for a range of outlets. I can produce photographs, stop-motion, or short-form videos directed by a brief or to create a scenario that fits the theme or the idea.
With my photography practice, I aim to incorporate the knowledge of connotative signs and create an image that shows the product at its best. Working with light and colors is my strongest attribute, as well as creating sets for products, food, and beverages. I can effectively plan a composition and decide on the framing and styling so the final result can exceed the client’s expectations.
In the marketing and branding sphere, I can consistently build awareness of the company’s values and maintain traffic to the new or existing products/services. Able to write insightful blogs and build IMC campaign briefs for designers, photographers, and stylists with all the necessary details to execute the needed task.
