The Photographer

The beauty and diversity of his homeland inspired him again and again to a creative way of photography and thanks to a special artistic sense, he managed to capture the different landscapes in breathtaking pictures and to present them to a wide audience. Some of his pictures won prestigious awards at regional and international exhibitions in Xinjiang, Beijing and Shanghai.

Ablikim Emet left his homeland in 2017 and is living now with his family in Boston, Massachusetts.
