Emil Rashkovski (Bulgarian: Емил Рашковски) is a photographer based in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Emil's work explores traditional and modern lifestyles, focusing on social issues, how humans shape their environment, and how the environment influences their behavior. Documenting absurdity, contradictions, and kitsch is essential to his practice.

Rashkovski graduated from the Technical University of Sofia and later earned a master's degree in Economics from Sofia University. Photography and serigraphy have played a central role in his life, inspired by his family’s involvement in these fields.

He has attended photography workshops, studied at the Parallax School of Photography, pursued contemporary art courses, participated in various trainings with the Magnum Agency, and received mentorship from the curators at Gallery Synthesis in Sofia.

Emil Rashkovski’s first solo exhibition TerraDeForming was presented at the International Meetings of Photography Festival in Plovdiv in 2020. His second solo exhibition HELLO SUMMER! was displayed at Gallery Synthesis, Sofia, in 2023. He was also part of the Cosmodrome exhibition in 2019. In 2015, Rashkovski received the national prize for Bulgaria in the World Photography Awards.
