Ja'bagh Kaghado:
Born across the Hudson River in New Jersey, Ja’bagh studied photography at the (FIT) Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. Ja’bagh launched his photography career in year 2000, and then relocated to Moscow due to work. His work had graced the pages and covers of Tatler, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Afisha, Mir, Prosport, Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, FHM, Gala, PLUS, Domovoy, Rolling Stone, NRG, Amaan, Ebyan, BEAST, V magazine, Skin, Fashion Collection, and others.
Getting a bit bored with the celebrity, glossy scene and exploring his new muse "Moscow City" Ja'bagh shifted his focus back to his roots, street culture, music, and the night.
Now 29, Ja'bagh is considered one of the most progressive and influential photographers in Moscow this decade. His first debut solo exhibition by the title "Moskva Raw" was commissioned by the Moscow Museum of Modern Art in 2008 making him the youngest artist to show a solo exhibition at the Museum at the age of 27.
His self-published book also titled "Moskva Raw" is sold by TASCHEN in NYC and at Garage in Moscow. With his specific image-making capacity he is shooting campaigns for major corporate and advertising agencies such as McCann Erickson, Publicis, Saatchi & Saatchi, FCB, TCF, and others. Alongside his photography he has recently began his directing career in motion pictures, music videos and TV commercials.
Ja’bagh lives between Moscow and recently Paris.
