Emin Mathers is a photographer mainly focused on street and sometimes documentary photography. Despite being particularly invested in photography, the artist has also experimented with video, light installations, and illustration in the past. Emin’s involvement in photography traces back to 2009 - his final year of studies in Interior Design. Mathers sees and uses art as a tool of exploration, observation, and documentation for capturing the moments, sometimes together with the essence of these moments.

"Photography for me is the simple evidence that the moment I lived is real, an opportunity to collect and share an honest visual experience." is a direct quote from the artist's website. The visual experiences of the artist consist of the daily life, activities, and sometimes habits of people. Alongside using humans as a central object in his art, from time to time, Emin also captures their surroundings only - places the people live, work and walk by. The artist also works with Chai-Khana media to contribute to the platform that aims to cover stories from South Caucasus.

Emin Mathers is also a co-founder of “f 3.7 union” (see: Sharaf Naghiyeva for another co-founder) where they organize exhibitions, share photography reviews and explore and shed light on the work of local photographers.
