Emil Gataullin

Emil Gataullin was born in Russia, in 1972, and lives in Moscow. Before studying Photography, he completed studies of Art. His photographic work appears in renowned magazines and online media, such as Geo, The New York Times, and Ogonek. For 15 years, he focussed exclusively on black and white photography, and only began to work with colour in 2016. His book “Towards the Horizon” appeared that same year, and presents poetic pictures taken in Russian villages. He will continue travelling to the Mezen in the future. He will also continue working on his long-term project about Kolyma, where the most brutal of the gulag camps was located from the 1930s to the 1950s.
