Photography: Jake Baggaley


I particularly like photography which teaches me something and shows me the world from a different perspective. I think that's why I'm such a big fan of Jake Baggaley. He describes himself as a 'social documentary and portrait photographer'. His photographs taken inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone are particularly eye-opening. We've all heard of the tragedy but Jake's photos take us into the lives of the few survivors living within the zone and demonstrate just how isolated and forgotten these people are. His photos are beautiful yet heart-breaking at the same time.

Please do check out his website, his photographs are incredible!
