Award winning photographer, Alexander (Sasha) Vasiljev began studying to be a fine artist but ultimately received his degree in biology with a major in botany. He curated and worked with major tropical orchid collections in Ukraine, Russia and the United States. While living in Moscow, he had the opportunity to study photography under the mentorship of distinguished landscape photographer, Boris Mashkov. Vasiljev’s own photographs soon appeared in various publications worldwide.

Since immigrating to the United States Vasiljev’s work has been exhibited in galleries and is included in many private collections. Several of his photographs are now part of the permanent display at the Embassy of the Republic of Costa Rica in Washington, DC. His work has also been exhibited at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

Currently Vasiljev is working on his first photography book, titled “Rainforest Revered. Wilderness of Costa Rica”.

In addition to photography, Vasiljev is the principal make-up artist for the Washington National Opera.
