Artist Biography

Anatoliy Anshin is a fine art photographer who excels in the use of camera for depicting the beauty of Nature in a deeply symbolic way. Born in Russia, he lives permanently in Japan. His main work sites are old Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. There he can wander around for days in search for the picturesque blend of traditional culture with natural environment of perfectly maintained Japanese gardens. Some of the peculiar features of his works are breathtaking perspectives, extremely vibrant colors, non-standard techniques such as blurring or shifting photographic subjects from the frame center that make his pictures all the more enigmatic and mesmerizing.

Anatoliy’s distinctive personal style is based on the belief that post-processing in photography is unnecessary – Nature has enough to offer us for appreciation and a beautiful photograph can be taken right in the moment the photographer triggers the shutter. His creativity is inspired by his profound scholarly background and physical training.

A former university researcher, Anatoliy holds a Ph.D. in pre-modern Japanese history, is an author of a book and a number of academic articles, and is a teacher of Japanese swordsmanship, Kendo.

Anatoliy was given Third Place award in the Fusion Art’s 5th Annual Leaves & Petals International Online Juried Art Exhibition (December 2019). A solo exhibition of his photographs is scheduled to take place February 7-13 of 2020 in the Fuji Photo Gallery Ginza in Tokyo. His permanent solo gallery is planned to open by the end of March 2020 in Moscow, Russia.
