I am Ksenia Kuleshova, a Russian photographer based both in Germany and Russia.
I graduated from Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University) with a degree in public relations. After winning a Russian PR competition, I worked on the agency side for several years, but then decided to move to Germany and pursue photography. I’ve completed Bachelor in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover by Professor Rolf Nobel.
I was awarded the first photography grant of the International Leica Society 2017, PDN Photo Annual Prize 2017 (Student category), VG-Bild Scholarship recipient, exhibiting Artist at Belfast Photo Festival 2017, and Schömberg Photo Festival 2017.
I’m currently enrolled in the master’s program Photographic Studies at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Dortmund.
