Individual photographers; Photographic reportage
Pierre Toutain-Dorbec's series of photographs depicting the Russo-Ukrainian war is a haunting portrayal of the devastating impact of conflict on humanity. Through his masterful use of light, shadow, faded tints, and the dry plate technique, he conveys the raw emotions of those affected by the invasion with an unflinching intensity.

The absence of human presence in the pictures adds to the unsettling feeling that the viewer is witnessing something deeply disturbing. Each image evokes a sense of foreboding and unease, serving as a stark reminder of the chaos and distress that innocent people experience in such a situation.

By capturing the emotional toll of conflict, Toutain-Dorbec encourages us to confront the harsh realities and work towards a more peaceful world.

One notable aspect of Toutain-Dorbec's photography is his intentional omission of captions or explanations. Rather than imposing his assessment, the photographer allows each image to stand on its own, inviting the viewer to engage and construct their particular narrative based on their distinct experiences and perspectives.

This approach creates a space for a more personal and reflective engagement with the impact of war on human lives. By leaving interpretation up to the observer, Toutain-Dorbec's work challenges us to consider the individual stories and experiences that are often overlooked in discussions of conflict.
