View this narrated photo essay on Chernobyl by Paul Fusco, here. Also included on the site are excerpts from the book "Voices of Chernobyl", an oral history by Svetlana Alexievich. Alexievich developed an immune deficiency while interviewing hundreds of people for the book. After once losing my copy of the book, I had to replace it with another. It is truly amazing..

“I want to question the images that are in our memory. There is always a double level in my work; what you see is true and at the same time not true.”- Carl de Keyzer
Carl De Keyzer traveled to Siberia in 2002 and photographed some 35 camps, revealing a harsh way of life totally isolated from the rest of the world. The resulting body of work, taken within the constraints of the restricted access he was granted, contains contradictory images such as the positive view of reformed conditions that the prison authorities wish to project, juxtaposed with De Keyzer’s observations of the remaining hardships of camp life.

Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have worked together since October 1994. Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 14 years. Rotterdam's heterogeneous, multicultural street scene remains a major source of inspiration for Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek, although since 1998 they have also worked in cities abroad.
They call their series Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people's attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity. The apparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is, however, taken to such extremes in their arresting objective-looking photographic viewpoint and stylistic analysis that the artistic aspect clearly dominates the purely documentary element.
