Kovalev (1947) hat sich schon als kleiner Junge f\u00fcr die Fotografie begeistert und dies in seine Profession als Pressefotograf mitgenommen.<\/p>\n
Er arbeitete seit 1971 f\u00fcr unterschiedliche Smolensker Zeitungen, zuletzt f\u00fcr die „Sovetskaja Rossija“. Als Pressefotograf hat er ganz Russland bereist und viele andere L\u00e4nder – er war sogar am Nordpol. 1992 wurde er mit den besten Pressefotografen Russlands von der englischen Presse nach Gro\u00dfbritannien eingeladen. Kovalev hat seine Fotos in Russland, Frankreich, Holland und Deutschland ausgestellt und dabei 50 internationale Preise gewonnen.<\/p>\n
Er ist einer der Gr\u00fcnder des ber\u00fchmten Fotografenverbands MIG in Smolensk und er war Mitbegr\u00fcnder des russischen Fotografenverbandes.<\/p>\n
Kovaljev ist bisher der einzige Tr\u00e4ger des Kulturpreises der Stadt Hagen aus Smolensk. Seine Fotos wurden zuletzt in Hagen im Karl-Ernst-Osthaus-Museum 2005\/2006<\/a> vom Freundeskreis Hagen-Smolensk mit den Bildern anderer K\u00fcnstler aus Smolensk pr\u00e4sentiert.<\/p>\n Nach einem schweren Autounfall kann er seit einigen Jahren seiner Passion nicht mehr nachgehen.<\/p>\n\n
