EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the heart of a thriving metal workers town in north-eastern Kazakhstan. Inside the Eurasian Resources Groups (ERG) Aksu Ferroalloys Plant, a furnace blazes with intense heat and vibrant orange hues. The image, taken by photographer Shamil Zhumatov on February 19,2018, showcases the creative use of depth of field to highlight the glowing furnace while keeping other elements out of focus. The photograph symbolizes the booming demand for metal products that fuels this Kazakh town's economy. It portrays an industry that thrives amidst challenging weather conditions and relies on skilled workers who dedicate their days to melting metals and shaping them into valuable commodities. The absence of people in the frame allows viewers to focus solely on the powerful presence emanating from within the factory walls. The air is thick with anticipation as molten metal transforms under extreme temperatures, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that captivates both nature enthusiasts and business-minded individuals alike. Beyond its industrial significance, this image also serves as a reminder of our impact on the environment. While beautiful in its own right, it prompts us to consider how industries like these can affect our surroundings. As we marvel at this close-up view of an integral part of global commerce, we are encouraged to reflect upon responsible practices that balance economic growth with environmental sustainability. In summary, Shamil Zhumatov's skillful capture transports us into a world where fire meets steel—a testament to human ingenuity and resource
