So proud of Evgenia Arbugaeva, Yakutian photographer. For the second time in December, her pictures appear on CNN Photos Blog.
This time the major US news media features her 15 photographs of Tiksi, the sea port located in the Lena Delta, Yakutia, Russia’s Arctic.
Evgenia Arbugaeva, a Yakutian photographer, keeps stunning us all the time. In September – October, she is exhibiting her pictures from the project “Tiksi In Winter” in Toronto, Canada. Her photo exhibit will be a part of so-called Days of Sakha-Yakutia at Bezpala Brown Gallery.

If you are in Toronto, don’t miss a chance to see her images of the Russian Arctic seaport of Tiksi located in Yakutia in the area of the Lena Delta.
Some of Evgenia’s photographs you might see right now.
These pictures are from Evgenia Arbugaeva‘s photo book “Following the Reindeer” (141 pages) that depicts the daily life of the Even reindeer herders in the mountain area around the settlement of Topolinoe in Tomponsky region (two days by a car from Yakutsk) in Russia’s Siberian republic of Yakutia.
Evgenia is a young photographer from Yakutsk. Currently, she lives in New York City. She is a graduate of the International Center of Photography.
A few months ago, she presented a few pics from her personal photo book “Following the Reindeer” and won the Lens Culture FotoFest Paris 2010 Blurb Photobook Prize. The prize will enable her to design, print, market and distribute her own photobook with Blurb.com, the online publishing-on-demand photobook company.
She is really a cool photographer. She dislikes work in the studio. She prefers to be on the field and make photo stories… and not like ordinary photo reportages, but as pieces of arts.
Evgenia, by the way, is the first local photographer, whom I featured online since 2002. Know her personally. Some her pictures might be seen on my old website YakutiaToday.com.
Below see more photographs of Siberian reindeer herders and their kids.
Think you will like Evgenia Arbugaeva‘s photographs of the Even girls living in the settlement of Topolinoe, Yakutia’s Tomponsky region, Siberia/Russia. All of them are very impressive and beautiful.
In pictures you can see the girls of the Baishevs, who are well known in Yakutia (Siberia, Russia) for their attempts to keep the Even culture safe, untouched and authentic. They are reindeer herders and they keep their own deer in the depth of the Verkhoyansky mountain area.
Evgenia is a young photographer. She is a big fan of the nomadic people. A few years ago she published a book with her photographs of Siberian nomads. Yup, it is dedicated to the Even people. Currently Evgenia is taking photography courses in New York.
Take a look at so-called Yakutian laika (Siberian husky) puppies. Born in the summer of 2010. Located in the the Arbugaevs’ Chochur Mouran Ethno Complex in the Siberian city of Yakutsk, Yakutia/Russia. News provided by Lena Sidorova. Photo by Evgenia Arbugaeva. Read the rest of this entry…
Kolyma in Yakutia by Alexander Mekheda
Eight years ago I made the website for Guerman Arbugaev, director of the Arctic Travel company. Unfortunately, it doesn’t exist anymore. The site owner failed to renew the domain name arctictravel-yakutia.com. By the way, it was my first website about Yakutia done in English.
Praise god, I saved some of its content, including Yakutia nature wallpapers. Here I am posting them. You may download and use them free for your computer desktop. The collection is small, but it is based on the works of my first favourite photographers, Evgenia Arbugaeva (Central Yakutia, the Lena River), Alexander Mekheda (Yakutia’s Kolyma) and Nikolay Zavodsky (South Yakutia, mainly the area of Peledui).

See the first portion of old photos. 42 photographs. Scanned and presented by Misha Maltsev, a London-based Yakutian.
My comment: I think scanned old book pictures have their own aesthetics.
We blog about the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the biggest & coldest region in Russia's Siberia. Also known as Yakutia. My honor to have been born and live in such a beautiful land! ~ Bolot.
