ALEXEY PIVOVAROV
Born in 1980 in the industrial city of Tchelyabinsk, in the Southern Urals, Russia.
At the age of nine he was given his first camera and in his hometown he met his first mentor Victor Gruber who followed him until the age of eighteen; every week he would bring the photographs he printed in black and white to his home, they would look at them together and he would give him tips on how to improve. Thanks to him, he fell in love with photography.
In 2004, he won first prize in the Corriere della Sera national photography competition, thanks to which he attended a workshop with Gianni Berengo Gardin. He then started working in publishing, first in Milan with the Prospekt Photographers agency and then worked on photographic projects that took him to India, Nepal, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Russia and Italy for Italian and international magazines.
He has collaborated with National Geographic, Marie Claire, L'Espresso and others.
From 2007 to the present, he has been a photographer for Baku magazine.
He participated in the production of the photographic part of the book "Why Italians Like to Talk About Food"; an itinerary through history, culture and customs by Elena Kostioukovitch with an introduction by Umberto Eco. The book has been translated into several languages and published worldwide.
Now his interest remains in the sphere of poetic photography, as defined by a great photographer from the Magnum agency, Georgy Pinkhassov, from whom he learnt the vision of light, which takes us beyond form and allows us to capture moments not only in a documentary way, but enables each individual photograph to become a parallel universe.
After the pandemic, he moved with his family to Orsigna, a small village in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
