About

Sasha Speranskii is a conceptual photographer whose work explores the human body as a landscape of involuntary biological truth. He focuses on the moments where shame, fear, and pleasure converge in the language of the skin—a phenomenon he defines through his ongoing project, Piloerection.

 Moving beyond traditional fashion aesthetics, Speranskii captures the “honesty of the surface”: goosebumps, accidental gestures, and the stark, clinical light of a direct flash that strips away artifice. Influenced by the raw intimacy of Ren Hang and the gritty Provoke-era Japanese photography, his work oscillates between the naive and the uncanny—a visual diary of bodies caught in the tension between desire and discomfort. 

Based in Moscow, Speranskii is currently focused on international residencies and is preparing for ImageNation Paris 2026, where he will present the definitive works of the Piloerection series.
