Anton
Usanov

Anton Usanov (b. 1990, Samara, Russia) is a visual artist working primarily with digital photography and video, currently living and working in Paris. He began photographing at the age of sixteen, developing a sensitivity to light, natural rhythms, and the human presence. In 2022, Usanov emigrated from Russia and continued his professional and artistic practice in an international context. Between 2022 and 2025, he travelled across Europe and Southeast Asia in search of a new artistic language and a sense of home. He studied at the Institute of Visual Arts IVA. His practice develops within staged and conceptual photography, where the image is understood as a constructed reality. Usanov’s works have been published in Artells, Holm, Mob, and Al-Tiba9, and exhibited in the USA, Thailand, Spain and Russia. He is currently focused on WILD, a multimedia project combining photography and video.
