Thumb Lab | Chernobyl
Exploration focused on building a dramatic and dangerous atmosphere inspired by the Chernobyl exclusion zone. The goal was to craft a high-impact thumbnail using strong contrast, warm highlights against cold industrial tones, and clear narrative tension. Elements like the hazmat suit, radioactive barrels, and the abandoned structures help drive the sense of urgency and contamination. Part of the ongoing series experimenting with mood, composition, and storytelling for more compelling visual thumbnails.
