Aidan Klimenko (b. 1989) is an American photographer based in Los Angeles, USA. Having grown up in both Ecuador and Minnesota, Klimenko’s practice focuses on themes, issues and narratives that aim to bridge the American continents and cultures. Using primarily large format film, Klimenko’s methodical approach to image making is one of long-term relationships within communities and passion for personal connection that together form work that is as intimate as it is informed. As a recent recipient of a National Geographic journalism grant, Klimenko is currently in the final stages of self-publishing his first book, “Achupalla”.
