Art & Culture: Frederic Chaubin shoots Soviet Architecture

Capturing moments in places where many may never travel is the functional beauty of photography. Frederic Chaubin captures atmosphere, power and creativity with his photos. Sadly, Ping Magazine, is no longer in operation, but they still have a few interviews posted online. In one of our favorites, they caught up with Frederic to discuss his work, and love for architecture.

As Ping reports: “Frederic Chaubin, who was born in Cambodia of a French father and Spanish mother, is chief editor of the French magazine Citizen K, and also a photographer who has been attracted by strange architecture in the former Soviet Union. The photos he takes in countries like Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Gruziya, reveal an extraordinary, almost sci-fi world. Today, PingMag takes you to the world of Soviet style architecture with Frederic Chaubin himself.”
