I’m Pavel Golovkin, a photographer and photo editor based in Tallinn, Estonia. I spent a decade as an Associated Press photographer and now work as a global desk photo editor for AP while continuing to shoot as a freelancer.
My reportage centers on human stories, environment and ecology, and I regularly collaborate with international outlets and agencies. I started my career in 2007, contributing to AP, Reuters and magazines such as Forbes, Newsweek, Rolling Stone and Geo. I was an AP staff photographer from 2013 to 2023, and since 2024 I freelance while editing AP images; I’ve covered major news and sports events, including royal and political events, FIFA World Cups, and Roland Garros in 2024 and 2025. Based in Tallinn, I’m available for fast deployment in Germany, France, Italy, Finland and Sweden.
As a photo-editor I worked on the major news and sport’s events, as Britan’s Royal and Political, FIFA World cups, Roland Garros 2024 and 2025 tournaments and many others.
