Think back to March 2011, when the earthquake, tsunami and subsequent accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan were headlining global news. Today, it\u2019s an old story, although not for the people who lived in the area.<\/p>\n<p>French photographer Guillaume Bression, together with his colleague Carlos Ayesta, was closely involved in the Fukushima story as it broke, and subsequently came up with a unique and moving style to demonstrate the legacy of the catastrophe: the pair moved former residents back to their offices, shops, restaurants and hangouts in Fukushima, and then photographed them in the untouched ruins and decay.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_95024&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95024\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-8.jpg\" alt=\"The owner of this abandoned hair salon picked up her scissors again for Bression\u2019s camera\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-8.jpg 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-8.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-8.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The owner of this abandoned hair salon picked up her scissors again for Bression\u2019s camera<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Battling bureaucracy<\/h2>\n<p>Retracing the steps of evacuees was one of several strands that made up the duo\u2019s \u2018Fukushima No-Go Zone\u2019 project, as Bression explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Finding the subjects was the hardest part of the project,\u2019 Bression recalls.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We worked with a fixer for two months, although I knew some of the people from previous news interviews. The first job was to identify the locations \u2013 the old offices, boutiques, supermarkets, and so on. Then it was about trying to find people related to that place. We\u2019d call the city office and sometimes the officials said they didn\u2019t have the details of who used to work or live there, or they just refused to help us. So we\u2019d try asking former neighbours. When we eventually tracked the evacuees down, some didn\u2019t want to return to be\u00a0photographed.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_95027&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95027\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-13.jpg\" alt=\"Portable lights were used to \u2018lift\u2019 this subject.

We never had to use actors\/models.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2>Mixed feelings<\/h2>\n<p>Many of the subjects featured had mixed feelings about returning. \u2018Some of them really wanted to go back to their old haunts, and for some it was the first time they\u2019d been back since the nuclear accident,\u2019 Bression adds. \u2018Most are strongly against the idea of returning permanently, as despite the government spending money on decontamination, the radiation levels can still be high. Nobody has the confidence to reopen for business.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_95022&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95022\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-5.jpg\" alt=\"The print shop owner, with whom Bression developed a particular rapport\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-5.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-5.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The print shop owner, with whom Bression developed a particular rapport<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Bression\u2019s favourite image is that of the printing company owner, with whom he feels a strong personal bond. But he can understand why the supermarket shopper image is popular. \u2018When we got into the supermarket the smell was terrible and there was hardly any light,\u2019 he says. \u2018Hence, the need for artificial light in most of the shots, which we sometimes also used to replicate\u00a0sunlight.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The response to the project has been very positive, although it\u2019s better known overseas than in Japan. \u2018[The pictures have] been published in many European countries and in the USA,\u2019 says Bression. \u2018On 23 June, we [had] a major one-month exhibition in Tokyo\u2019s Ginza shopping district, funded by Chanel.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_95020&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95020\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-3.jpg\" alt=\"A regular of a record store which was abandoned, stock and all, when the Fukushima disaster unfolded\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-3.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-3.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A regular of a record store which was abandoned, stock and all, when the Fukushima disaster unfolded<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>After the exhibition, Bression and Ayesta planned to start work on a project about the decontamination workers who are engaged in the clean-up operation at the stricken nuclear reactors. Bression says: \u2018We want to show, through portraits, what life is like inside a no-go zone now. Three years ago it was empty, but then the clean-up workers arrived so a supermarket and gas station opened.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/09\/Revenir-sur-nos-pas-Ayesta-Bression-4.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-20 03:34:49","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95016"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95016\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95033,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95016\/revisions\/95033"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95016"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=95016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
