Pieter Ten Hoopen's photography is massively atmospheric, due to his use of movement and colour. He was a winner in the World Press Photo Awards last year for his story on Kitezh 'the invisible city'. He talks about the project on the World Press website, explaining how in missing the exact time that the legendary city is supposed to rise up from the lake now standing in its place he focused instead on the neighbouring town of Vadimirskoe, also invisible in its dearth of employment and high rate of alcohol abuse. He is represented by Agence Vu which showcases a great selection of his work.
