Photo Essay:
Daro Sulakauri - Black Gold
(C) Daro Sulakauri
Georgian photographer Daro Sulakauri?S image essay on the mining metropolis of Chiatura in Georgia is surely charming. Sulakauri?S empathy with the miners and their families is palpable and her compositions take you proper to the heart of this mining community.
Once a bustling manganese ore mining town, since the collapse of the Soviet Union these miners, who toil for 12 hours a day, earn much less than USD $300 a month. It is a brutal process in a harsh place where there are few creature comforts.

(C) Evgenia Arbugaeva
This photograph essay, by certainly one of my preferred photographers Evgenia Arbugaeva, is in entire evaluation to the previous situation remember of this Siberian artist whose Weather Man and Tiksi collection I?Ve written about. But her visual signature is unmistakable and without delay I'm transported to any other international. There's some thing so rich and hauntingly stunning approximately her pics that captivates me.
In 2014 Arbugaeva grew to become her lens on Tanzania and the Amani Hill Research Station to ?Deliver back the environment of this dark, magical area,? As she told National Geographic?S Jeremy Berlin. This station is placed within the far off Usambara Mountains where Arbugaeva labored with anthropologist Wenzel Geissler, to capture this ?Hidden global?. It?S a notable visual story advised beautifully via Arbugaeva. Berlin?S tale is similarly attractive. You can read it and see more pix right here.
