I’m delighted to announce that my work was awarded: 1st place in Architecture – Historic category for the winning entry “Pripyat: 21 Years After Chernobyl” in the 2012 International Photography Awards. I also received three honourable mentions in the categories for Fine Art – Landscape, Architecture – Cityscapes and Architecture – Buildings.
21 years after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded these images of the town capture a memory of three traumas: the invisible radiation, the visible looting and the gradual collapse of a ghost town.

Congratulations and well done! Really evocative photographs – I’m fascinated by the patterns/residues left from the peeling paint. It was great to read of your trip to Pripyat and I love receiving your blog posts. Thanks!

I always feel and see something new when i look at these pictures. Cheers on being recognized for your artistry and heart.
Congratulations and all the best in upcoming works!
Your work is inspiring. I’m a fashion blogger, but something happened to me and I’m loving the aesthetics of a photofraphy. Aesthetics can be in everything! Your work is interesting and, I repeat, really inspiring, in special to a beginner like me!
Cheers,
Cristiane Santos.

The photo is beautiful and sad at the same time, when you think about what happened over there,
