Ilyich Steel
Here are some photographs I shoot with my wife Mayya Pigida inside the Ilyich Steel Factory in Mariupol Ukraine. This images where shoot in summer 2016
All images are shot in color and converted to black and white.
The steel workers in this work in a very harsh condition
An old man said to me that these workers are heroes for working in these factories under these conditions.
So here are the images I promised to publish some years ago.
