New York-based portrait photographer Aleksandr Karjaka

Aleksandr Karjaka came to New York for the music, but stayed for the photography. As a classically trained clarinet & bass clarinetist, he has had the honor of performing with some of the greatest musicians in the world, including American Ballet Theater where he currently subs. It was through music he learned how to listen with his eyes as a portrait artist.

An adjunct professor at the Parsons School of Design here in New York, Aleks has always been drawn to fashion, but not in the traditional sense. His fascination with fashion has always been one that tells the story of the individual wearing it, as opposed to the story of the piece itself. Aleks believes fashion in a portrait can elevate an excellent story of authenticity into something truly iconic and vulnerable for the world to enjoy.
