Oleksandr Kosheliev

My name is Oleksandr “Alex” Kosheliev. I am a commercial photographer from Ukraine currently based in Las Vegas, NV. I was introduced to photography at the age of 8 when I found an old broken ZENIT film camera. I spent countless hours playing with it trying to figure out how it works. At the age of 10, I received my first film camera as a gift for my birthday. The present instantly sparked a strong interest in capturing the pictures and the visual arts. I started my professional photography journey after pursuing a few other professional endeavours in veterinary medicine and the music industry. My professional photo career started in the field of landscape and wildlife photography. While traveling the world and exploring other cultures, I collaborated with various brands, blogs, and start-ups capturing lots of travel and lifestyle content and successfully completed 100+ projects worldwide. I have worked with many hotels, resorts, coffee plantations and luxury safari camps all over the world. After COVID halted all travel, I started working as a commercial photographer continuing my work with many brands, creating ad campaign, product and e-commerce imagery. In 2022, I left for a work trip to Africa 3 days before the war in Ukraine started, but I had the privilege to work on a few projects with 4-time Emmy award winning host of “Global Passport” Christina Cindrich, in collaboration with Tanzania National Park Authority (TANAPA) and National Development Board of Rwanda creating content in Serengeti National Park, Manyara National Park in Tanzania, and Nyungwe National Forest and Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. After immigrating to the United States, I am ready to continue my creative journey in Las Vegas, Nevada.
