About

Founded in 2019 by Alexey Kim and Felix Santos, Sidewalkkilla began as an independent, queer-focused editorial platform dedicated to collaborative storytelling and nightlife photography. It quickly became a hub for creative minds, showcasing vibrant, candid moments captured by Alexey and a collective of talented photographers.

In 2023, the project evolved as Alexey took full creative control, transforming Sidewalkkilla into a dynamic photo service. Now, Alexey continues to bring his unique vision to life, specializing in documentary, creative, and client-based projects. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for visual storytelling, Sidewalkkilla remains at the forefront of capturing authentic, compelling imagery.
