Emil Gataullin Author

Emil Gataullin is a Russian mural and fresco painter. He studied at the V. Surikov Moscow State Academy Art Institute. Early in the new millennium he began to take an interest in photography and found a teacher and mentor in Alexander Lapin, a photography theorist. Gataullin loves black-and-white photography, but increasingly ventures into colour. He is 44 years old and lives in Korolyov, near Moscow. Peter-Matthias Gaede was a reporter for GEO magazine for ten years, and worked as its Editor-in-Chief from 1994 to 2014. His latest essay for Edition Lammerhuber was for Volker Hinz: In Love with Photography. Gaede has travelled extensively in Russia, all the way to the Siberian gulag area of Magadan, and also knows Gataullin's work as a jury member for the Alfred Fried Photography Award.
