The photographs are stolen and uncredited from James Galbraith who took them in early 2018 or earlier, not "8 years on". That's a very serious claim to make especially considering the author is a professional photographer. I don't see any indication these are stolen, it's just the same subject matter[1]. Maybe you shouldn't run around slandering people without offering proof? [1] Here are some of the photos credited to James Galbraith https://blurp.co.uk/overseas/eerie-pictures-show-the-desolate-streets-of-fukushima-seven-years-after-nuclear-disaster/ https://blurp.co.uk/overseas/eerie-pictures-show-the-desolat...

In your link there is a photo of what looks to me like a school hall that could very easily be a cropped and color changed version of a photo included in the OP (/vice-versa).

  Yeah, the shadows seem to match. And as the OP was posted March 9, they could be indeed be stolen images.

  He must have used secret CSI technology to "uncrop" the picture larger than the one he supposedly "stole".

  It is amazing that both photographers took the same photos from almost the same location... but if you look closely the photo in the "photo essay" was actually taken from a slightly higher position. For example, you can see that the upper corners of the retracted basketball board overlap with the girders in one photo, but not in the other.

    Millions of people take the same photos from the same location, ie: spots in Disneyland or the Southernmost Point in Key West.

I remembered seeing the same images a year ago, so I used Google Images to find what I assumed to be the same images. I didn't know the OP is a photographer, I assumed it was just another clickbait blog, as is common these days. I updated my original post to remove the accusation.

I was curious so I tried to match the two photos. They're clearly taken at the same location, but from slightly different angles. The shadow is different too. https://imgur.com/Y5jF4ia https://imgur.com/Y5jF4ia
