Magdalene Sole was born in Spain and grew up in Switzerland, as a daughter of Spanish immigrants. She holds a Masters of Fine Art from Columbia University. Her work has won many awards, including the Silver Award in 2011 at PX3 Prix de la Photographie, France for her new book, New Delta Rising (University Press of Mississippi), and an Oscar for Man on Wire for which she was the Production Manager. She  also photographed the abandoned zone around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant in Japan after the 2011 tsunami. As she says:

“For most of us destruction by natural disaster is experienced through a TV. When you are present the experience is vastly different. It recruits all of your senses. You can touch debris, smell the rot and decay, see the great swath of land touched by destruction and experience a loneliness standing in empty destroyed formerly inhabited space that cannot be relieved by changing channels. All of this adheres to your soul.”
