Los Angeles
Alex Bonapart won the U.S. green card in 2016 and moved to Los Angeles, a city he had wanted to work in for years. He settled in Studio City and within two years was working with designers, model agencies, brands and some of the best-known names in fashion.
For SuperDope TV, Alex Bonapart filmed and edited a 12-episode docu-series on Kentaro Kameyama, the winner of Project Runway Season 16, following him from his atelier to New York Fashion Week. He photographed Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber at the Little Star Foundation event for children with cancer, and the Fashion Nova x Cardi B launch. He made a music video with Scott Page of Pink Floyd, films for GLAUDI, Wicked Things Boutique, Simon and Dallas Lovato, and test shoots for Freedom Models and MP Management.
Internationally published
Alex Bonapart is internationally published in fashion magazines, including cover stories. His editorial Bloom ran on the cover of Picton Magazine's Black issue, #168, and his red-room editorial was published in Féroce Magazine, Vol. 4. Both came from his own concept, casting and direction.
The craft
Alex Bonapart studied film and television directing at the Karpenko-Kary University of Theatre, Cinema and Television and software engineering at the National Aviation University. He shoots, edits, colors and builds VFX himself in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Lightroom, and he runs full productions: casting, stylists, locations and permits.
Before Los Angeles he was the long-term media partner of the Forsage and Saxon luxury clubs, worked with international EDM DJs and the band Vremya i Steklo, and made a tourism film for the city administration of Kyiv. Those films passed 20 million views on YouTube.
Photography taught him to see. Film taught him to tell. Technology let him build.
CyberStock
When the war came to Ukraine, Alex Bonapart evacuated his parents from a combat zone, and his camera equipment was seized at a Russian checkpoint. In 2025 he founded CyberStock, the AI keywording tool for stock contributors. CyberStock writes titles and keywords in 1.3 seconds per file from real buyer data, auto-submits photos and videos to Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Getty and other agencies with 0% commission, and teaches contributors in CyberStock Academy, a microstock photography course. More than 10,000 photographers use it. CyberStock is backed by NVIDIA Inception, Google for Startups, AWS Activate, Cloudflare for Startups and the ElevenLabs startup program.
Today Alex Bonapart leads CyberStock and takes on selected work as a fashion photographer in Los Angeles, fashion videographer and fashion creative director.
