The Future’s Red

How do you photograph one of the most secretive countries in the world? 

For Charlie Crane the answer was simple, photograph what they want you to see. If there is no possibility of getting underneath the surface then the answer was to photograph the surface itself. This series is taken from a larger body of work in Pyongyang, the capital city of North Korea.

    That’s what makes these photos so chilling. Apart from the few stiff figures posed joylessly in front of the camera there are no people at all.
