Nadav Kander is another photographer that was recommended to my by my tutor. I have to say i didn't really think much about her photographic work at first, but after researching Nadav in more depth i've come to realise that her work is really inspiring.
Unfortunetly due to her website being locked down on images i haven't been able to copy and paste images onto this blog however her website is;
www.nadavkander.com
On her website she has many interesting and esthetically pleasing portfolios of work, 2 of which caught my eye the most.
I Wish I Were Near You
Chemobyl, Half Life
I Wish I Were Near You is a series of images based on highways in the United States. Its a strange yet compelling set of images, each compostion as carefully thought out as the last.
Chemobyl, Half Life is set in a city square in Pripyat, Russia. When a recator exploded in a near by nuclear power station it left the surrounding areas inhabitable for many many years. She went to visit this place on the 20th anniversary of the explosion and photographed the near by buildings. The aftermath of the explosion left all the buildings with a permeniant scar of destruction, and a huge sense of loss. Thus giving every single image she took in this city a feeling of loss and depression, which is why i found this series of images to be the one that hit me the hardest.
