Ioan Musaelov's (Musaelyan) photography studio operated in Shushi (currently Artsakh) at the beginning of the 20th century. Only two cabinet family portraits bearing the stamp of this photographer have been found, which suggests that the pavilion did not operate for very long. These portraits are made in the most standard fashion of the time and are interesting from the perspective of local historiography. No biographical or bibliographical information has been found.
