Aleksey Volchek likes to shoot people and the outcome of that is better than you would initially expect. Yes, he' a photographer and he's also immensely talented. This is a good combination. He's one of Work Evolution's official photographers and we couldn't recommend him more. He also does these amazing virtual tours (stay tuned for ours!), checkout his tour of Flea Espresso Bar in LBC, if you dare.

Here are five questions we asked Volchek and these are precisely the answers we expected. He's that good, get to know him

What's your line of work and why do you do what you do?
I like to think of myself as a story teller, powered by my photography. I deflect the notion that photography at my level is some sort of art - it's a tool, a tool to visually tell a story. I'd like to get into the art side of photography eventually.

What's your favorite type of project to work on? Have any examples?
Anything that promotes and helps local artists. With a theatre/film background I also love to goof around in front of the camera too.

If someone gave you a million dollars, how would you spend it?
I'd create experimental "Universal Basic Income" for artists fund where I'd figure out how UBI's model can be privatized and have financial sense for other milliners to participate.

Who would you rather apprentice for, Ansel Adams or Annie Leibovitz? Explain your answer.
Ansel - he seems to be very comfortable with giving up control over what happens and simply capture the moment ... in the moment. (From what I remember in my history of photography class ha ha).

What do you like most about being a Work Evolution member?
It makes me feel more responsible to my goals. It makes the process of dreaming seem more real because I have a space to craft and bend the fabric of my reality to achieve them.
