Infrared filter always makes the image more gloomy and eerie. And if you apply it to the landscapes of an already terrible place - such as Chernobyl, for example - the effect will be overwhelming. The idea of creating a collection of photos devoted to this notorious place came to Vladimir Migutin.
The photographer was born in Belarus in 1986 - just in the year of the disaster. When Vladimir was 5 years old, his family left the Soviet Union. But still his early childhood Migutin remembers. And since only bright memories remained for Belarus, at a conscious age he decided to go to his historic homeland to see how Minsk has changed, possibly to meet friends. Once on the spot, Vladimir suddenly realized that he would very much like to visit Chernobyl as well. He found a group licensed to organize excursions in the exclusion zone, and booked a tour for the next few days.
The ghost town struck Vladimir. In it reigns mother nature. And only here a person who spends most of his life in a metropolis can see its strength, understand how the world is changing technological progress, and imagine what would have happened if the latter did not exist. It's beautiful and terrible at the same time. But this is really worth seeing.
