About me

  My name is Aleksandr Chekhonin. I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia. To this day I live here and photograph my hometown a lot.  

  I bought my first digital camera back in 2007. Since then, he has become my faithful companion on every journey. Over the past time, I have tried myself in many genres and directions of photography. At the moment my main specialization is cityscape, architecture, natural landscape and aerial photography.  

  In the last few years, I have become actively involved in photo competitions.
