Ukraine Aſter an arduous, eight-hour drive on poor local roads through the Kherson region, I arrived at the ‘Dead Sea of Ukraine’, but felt as though I was looking at another planet. With this image, I wanted to capture the lake’s extraterrestrial appearance as well as its hypnotic pink hue, which is caused by microscopic algae in the water. I used a drone, which revealed a number of striking results from above — the sheer size of the lake, as my friends and I walked along the water’s edge, as well as the abstract shapes of animals and people created by the swirling, smudged layers of salt on the shoreline. It’s one in a series of shots that truly convey the drama of this unusual place. YEVHEN SAMUCHENKO // PHOTOGRAPHER
