About the Creator
Pascale Sobry
Belgium
Urban Exploration or Urbex is the photography of abandoned buildings with the utter respect for the building itself. The code of honor is “to leave nothing behind besides your footprints” and “to take nothing but pictures” As a female photographer Pascale Sobry tries to capture the impressions and atmosphere of the places she visits. The building is still breading and therefore revealing elements of its past. The trademark of Pascale is composition, eye for details and lightning. By combining these elements she has been able to capture the buildings in its essence and keeping them in remembrance even when they are demolished. See also www.urban-shoot.be
