Emile Khalikov is a Moscow-based contemporary photographer specializing in cinematic visual storytelling. He grew up in an artist’s family, surrounded by sketches, paintings, and exhibitions from an early age. Although his formal background is in particle physics, visual art has always been an integral part of his life. A passionate cinephile raised in a big city, Emile fell in love with cinema long before photography. Intricate plots, vivid characters, and striking locations—both on screen and in real life—have shaped his photographic language.
