Photographer and jeweler Alexandra Goloviznina was born and raised in St. Petersburg, but now she lives in Bakhchisaray, Crimea, Russia. Crimean nature is beautiful. Vibrant, diverse and rich.

I am writing these lines and feel like a light, slightly cool spring breeze with the smell of cherry blossoms …. Autumn is warm, sunny and bright, too. Winter is so quiet, calm, and slow”. Alexandra photographs a lot, trying to capture the beauty that she sees around her.
