Pripyat has attracted many photographers from all over the world, but the pictures of this Romanian master are different from others. He focuses on the aesthetics of terrifying devastation and at the same time soothing loneliness. The final composition, especially due to the bright colors of HDR and post-processing, turns out to be mystically gloomy.
Cristian Lipovan is a photographer from Romania, born in Gerla. Christian became interested in photography 8 years ago when he bought his first DSLR camera. He shoots in various styles, but prefers urban studies most of all. In recent years, he has been actively working on the Places Suffering project.
