About Алексей

I help brands, car clubs, media outlets, bloggers, and event, tour, and rally organizers create high-quality visual and editorial content.

Yes, I've only been living in France for a year and my French is still limited, but my extensive experience in journalism, photography, video production, and expedition organization allows me to handle the entire process: from concept to shooting, from editing to preparing materials for publication.

My strength lies in combining media skills with a deep understanding of the automotive and travel world. I don't just film or write: I create stories that capture audience attention and enhance a project's value.
Storytelling is the key to any successful blog, and I know how to use it effectively.

I personally lead automotive expeditions and trips, which means I know exactly how to film and document these types of activities. If you need a photographer, videographer, or reporter for a trip, a historic rally, car tests, or an event – you now know who to contact.

My portfolio includes a technical support mission at the Dakar Rally, as well as experience as a co-driver with the 'Kamaz-Master' team. This experience taught me to work quickly, precisely, and reliably under extreme conditions.

I am accustomed to working both independently and as part of a team, in challenging environments and in all weather conditions, day or night. I make quick decisions and ensure stable, predictable results.
