After Chernobyl: Pictures of Pripyat by Timm Suess Apr 19th 2013, 13:12 Before the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, the city of Pripyat had almost 50,000 inhabitants, many of whom worked at the nuclear power plant close by. Abandoned 24 hours after the disaster, Pripyat has been left to decay ever since. In 2009, Timm Suess spent two days photographing what’s left, writing his Chernobyl Journal as accompaniment to his haunting and vibrant images. A Swiss photographer and industrial psychologist, Seuss focuses on urban decay in his work. He states that ”my main object of interest are places where man-made order collides with natural chaos: Abandoned factories, houses, military installations, hospitals, and other human structures that have been left to die.” Using HDR to capture the decaying Pripyat, Suess wanted “to contrast the desolate surroundings in the zone with unusually rich and alien colors.”  His pictures do just that, speaking to how much remains both physically and spiritually when a city ceases to have any inhabitants.
