30 years after the world was exposed to its worst nuclear accident in Chernobyl, photojournalist Kazuma Obara portrays people affected by the disaster.
The title of this book, Exposure, has multiple meanings. As a technical photographic term, it refers to the process of exposing film to light. It also refers to the disclosure of a secret or the state of being in the public eye. And last but not least, it refers to the radiation experienced by those affected by the Chernobyl nuclear accident.
Just as Maria’s stories had not seen the light of day, the film I used for this project was kept in darkness for thirty years. By exposing this film to light, I hope in some way to have helped reveal her existence to the world.

This project and this first confidential version were worth the interest and the publication one year later of a new enlarged edition by Editorial RM.
