Alexander Hryshko (born April 1980 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian historical photographer, noted for changing his style to fit the subject matter.His art exhibit in April 2008 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada which featured elderly punk icons entitled Fat Fifty and Punk received many solid reviews.
Fat Fifty and Punk is "a charming look at some of the genre's most important and notorious characters...(its) best asset is that it intersperses wilder, "punker" images (i.e.
