We present for your attention an exhibit of photographs by Vladimir Anatolyevich Abdulov, a photographer and naturalist from the city of Uralsk, Kazakhstan. Vladimir Abdulov has a photographer for 23 years. In that time, as he himself writes, he has “formed my own ideas about the art of photography.”

Vladimir Abdulov’s collection contains some 3,000 photographs devoted to the nature of the Ural region. They are like nuggets of gold, obtained as a result of long travels through his native land and the exacting work of a photographer.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Vladimir Abdulov for the photos that he has presented, and to wish him further creative successes in the future.
