About. Concert and event photographer Elena (Alia) Denisova

Elena (Alia) Denisova is a concert and music photographer living between Barcelona, Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. She’s shooting live concerts of Russian and Foreign rock bands and musician portraits in particular.

The absolute love for music was born with Elena and it’s stayed with her during each stage of life, that’s why such interest in concert photography has logically grown into attending musical events as a concert-goer and as a group support behind the scene.

Elena collaborates with several music portals and magazines, such as Rock v kadre, Rock-wave, Rosphoto and others. She photographed not only live concerts of Russian and Foreign musical groups like Pilot, Chizh & Co., FPG, Louna, Goran Bregovic, Animal Jazz, etc., but also art soirées with cinema directors and artists.

Besides the concert photography Elena likes travelling and publishing her reports in the Passenger magazine. She also adores reading, has three cats and teaches Spanish.
