Robert Polidori.

Montreal-born Polidori is a master. I remember the first time I saw his book Havana. I spent at least an hour with it- devouring each image. 
I am especially captivated by his interiors. It was hard, but I narrowed it down to three. 
(For now.) 

Versailles, Salle de Bain de Marie Antionette, 2005.
Classroom in Kindergarten #7, Pripyat, 2001.
Ciudadela, formerly the house of  The Condesa de Buenavista, Miramar, Havana, 1997.

Polidori extensively documented Soviet towns surrounding Chernobyl, as well as the devastation after Hurricane Katrina.
