In a Landscape

The images in this book are my attempt to introduce drama and a sense of the ethereal into environments that most people have forgotten, and in some cases would have you believe do not exist.

As industry, technology, politics and finance continue to push the boundaries in a race towards some far off idealist future, the remains of yesterday's 'bright new tomorrows' often lay strewn and forgotten across the land - waiting to be rediscovered... through the art of urban exploration, or urbex.

Although I often use High Dynamic Range processing, Infrared Photography, Selective Colouring... and other 'digital darkroom' techniques to interpret the images I shoot, nothing is added or taken away from the compositions you see. Everything in the frame existed at the moment each photograph was taken.
