Yagub is a multilingual photographer and occasional artistic director whose work includes directing a music video for an Azerbaijani singer. An accomplished artist, his photography has been featured in Vogue Italia and other international publications. A lover of the French language, Yagub is based in Montreal, Québec, with a transcontinental résumé that spans fashion capitals like London and New York. Fluent in six languages—Russian, Azeri, Turkish, French, English, and Spanish—Yagub's deep cultural knowledge enriches his photography, blending and contrasting these influences like a painter with a rich color palette. His photos combine Eastern European rawness with an avant-garde, French 'less is more' approach, focusing on illuminating the subject's essence and avoiding over-editing to reveal 'l'âme de la photo' (the soul of the photo). Yagub's distinctive style is marked by light-centered compositions and thoughtful editing that create a sense of intimacy with his subjects. His experience as a production coordinator and photographer at Cirque du Soleil honed his teamwork and directing skills, leading to a successful freelance career where clients repeatedly seek his artistic direction and passion for each project.
