http://www.lightstalkers.org/luketchalenko I was born in London, but followed my surname to Russia in 2000 to set up shop as a freelance photograper. I had my first exhibition "East of Peckham" in the Centenary Gallery, South London, in 2004.<br /><br /> I am based in Moscow, shooting features and news for European and U.S. newspapers and magazines, but travel regularly around the former Soviet Union and the Middle East. I also have ongoing projects in Ukraine and the North Caucusus.<br /><br /> You can see some recent photographs from the Chernobyl Zone - nearly 20 years after the world's worst nuclear accident - in my gallery here, and these and other photos on my site www.tchalenko.com en-us
