Asiman AbdullazadePhotographer · Filmmaker · DesignerBased in Baku, Azerbaijan

I work at the intersection of image, time, and mark.

I grew up in Baku, where Soviet architecture and Caspian light collide in unexpected ways. That tension — between structure and softness, between permanence and flux — still runs through everything I make.

I started shooting on a borrowed Zenit when I was sixteen. Later I studied graphic design, fell into filmmaking, and eventually realised these three practices aren't separate pursuits — they're a single way of looking.

My photography focuses on landscapes and the built environment. My films are mostly short, observational — interested in the rhythm of everyday life. My design work is rooted in typography and the logic of print.

I take on commissions that interest me: editorial projects, short film collaborations, brand identities for organisations doing considered work. I prefer long conversations to quick briefs.
