Italian Hospital A – Bedlam
High up in the Alps in a small village thee is an abandoned hospital. There are two well known highlights of this location, one is the chapel which is very distinctive, the other is the fact that there are beds remaining in the wards. They’ve seen better days, but none the less its great to [...]
Hunting Lodge A – Kitchen
There wasn’t very much left in this kitchen, a couple of sinks and that was about it. I liked the symmetry again and thought the varying textures and pastel shades on the walls would pop nicely when processed so took a bit of time with this one. Click the image for a slightly larger version [...]
Hunting Lodge – Main Stairs
After seeing where we were going on our day out I did a search to see what to expect and came across the stairs in the lodge. Pretty much everyone who goes here takes this picture and its hard to do something ‘different’ really so I just went with the flow and shot this. I [...]
Hunting Lodge A – Guest WC
A lot of urbex photographers have a thing about taking shots of the toilets in abandoned locations. I’m not quite sure of why this is, maybe because its sometimes the only furniture that is left as its attached to the walls. Maybe because the white porcelain is quite photogenic or that it sometimes dates a [...]
Abandoned Art – Senso – Fallen Angel
In the warehouse somewhat hidden away was this fantastic piece by Senso, I really like this, the image really jumps out of the wall and the artist has used the environment well, the fallen angel sitting on the switches. Click the image to see a slightly larger version or to purchase
New Forest Church
This weekend I spent the Bank Holiday in The New Forest with my Mum, On Sunday we went for a lovely walk, about 8 miles. The weather was great and despite initially heading out with waterproofs we both ended up lightly dressed. I wanted to shoot a couple of churches that I had been to [...]
Balestrino Abandoned Village – External
As you can see the weather was lovely in the village, blue skies and sun for a change. It was great to wander around without the worry of being quiet, getting caught or falling down any holes. The village is mostly intact, nothing remains in the houses although the spaces are quite nice. Tiles [...]
Balestrino – Abandoned Church
The third day of our trip was a treat – an abandoned village on the side of a hill. After a little confusion we found the right place. RoamnyWG and I had different locations in mind, I’d found a different village to him! The weather was great, lovely and sunny and the small village contained [...]
Tilt Shift Testing at The Shard
You should all know how I love my panoramas by now, well I am thinking about investing in a 17mm tilt-shift, so decided before making a (substantial) dip into Mr Visa’s pocket that I should probably try one out. Last weekend I got my hands on a TS-E 17mm F4 lens. There’s an excellent explanation [...]
Abandond Art – FRESH
Another from the same location as the previous images. I think was the only piece we found by ABSOLUT here.
Abandoned Art – Sea Creative – Vine
More excellent contact work from my travelling colleague. We met a couple of the artists at a secret spot in Italy, yet another vast location with a lot of excellent art. The guys have been painting here for a long time and will continue to do so. The art on the walls is outstanding some [...]
Abandoned Art – James Kalinda
My travelling colleague is a bit of a street-art collector, or more accurately hidden art, a few mails and call were exchanged and we had the location of a new spot sorted. There’s something affirming and ego-less about the guys that paint in hidden and abandoned locations, great works on vast walls, not for the [...]
Urbex Palace – NON PLUS ULTRA
Having seen pictures of this hall I kinda knew what to expect. However on arrival I was blown away, intricate carvings all painted white, skylights letting in wonderful light. This surly was a place to behold. I had high hopes of shooting a mega-panorama here, however it appears that it’s not to be. The regular [...]
Lavoir à Charbon A – Pincer Action
It wasn’t all manor houses and hospitals on our recent tour of Italy. On the way we travelled through France and Luxembourg, stopping off at a rather tasty coke washing plant. This was an interesting one as the site that it is on is live with plenty of people around. thankfully we entered unnoticed and [...]
Manor House T – The Chapel
I’ve been to several large houses in Europe that have chapels attached, nothing quite like this one though. In keeping with the rest of the property the whole room was painted with trompe-l’œil pretty much everything in the image apart from the alter is painted. It’s obviously been a long time since the chapel was [...]
Urbex Palace – The White Room
Finally back from Italy, around 3,000 miles driven over 11 days, what a great trip. My exploring partners and I have seen some wonderful locations, got some great photos all with little incident despite getting caught three times. The picture below was taken at an abandoned manor house, well, its a bit more than that [...]
Italy Tour – Penultimate Day – Friday 13th
Our tour is drawing to a close an I am looking forward to getting home, sleeping in my own bed and having some different clothes to wear! In the mean time here are a couple more teasers from our trip, one from an excellent location with some cool graf, the other from a hospital high [...]
Italy – En Route Post
Half way through the Tour d’Italia with RomanyWG and EllisD and things are going well for us. After a slow start of one location a day we’ve done three today. We hooked up with some locals for a convent, but unfortunately it had been recently boarded so entry wasn’t possible. Luckily they had a backup [...]
London – South Bank at Night
Another from my Saturday trip out to The South Bank. This is a stitched panorama made up of six or seven images with 3 brackets each. It was taken with my new (second hand) Sigma 12-24. I’m partially happy with the lens, its a bit soft after using the 24-105 L thought, so I have [...]
London – Price Waterhouse Cooper
After a trip to see a friend I decided that I should go check out the South Bank with my camera. Its not often that you get hte chance to shoot anywhere in London without people, so I figured that midnight would be a good dimer to see what I could do. I’m also very [...]
Hellingly
Here’s a typical scene from the now demolished Hellingly Asylum, sad to see it go, but I guess there has to be progress.
Hellingley
Another corridor in the now demolished mental asylum. I’m having trouble being creative with my writing at the moment, lots on my mind and lots to do, it seems to be sapping my thought process hence the lack of ‘wordy-ness’ recently!
Tate Modern – Tate Catering
Along with doing a bit of work for The Tate recently, I’ve also done some in the past. Whilst having a browse for my recent work I came across a couple of my images in use. Its quite flattering to see my work on such a prestigious companies website, so I’m really happy with this. [...]
Sheffield Abandoned Factory
After searching through the archives I came across this shot – Its a pretty straight forward image and not the most interesting I must admit, however it was nice and easy to produce for a Sunday morning. We’d actually gone to do some graf hunting, looking for a pigs arse of all things, which we [...]
