Photographs From A Beautifully Built Derelict Warehouse

Here i have shown some photographs from a site in which i found extremely interesting. The site itself is set back from the main road so finding it was a tad hard!!!! When getting to the location i met a guy who was sat against the outside of the building. I spoke to him very briefly but didn't want to stay long because i have heard many things that have happened at this site. I still went inside to see if there was anything interesting to photograph. I actually went inside with two teenagers who i have never met 
before (I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD INTO A TRAP) I was lucky not to get attacked and have my camera pinched!! Upon uploading the photographs i soon discovered that this was a great photo opportunity and wish that i could go back and take more photographs. I wouldn't, personally feel safe attending the same location again as i might not be so lucky and get into trouble.
One tip of advice for people who are interested in doing photographs like this "Be extremely careful and don't do what I did and go inside with random people"

Continuation from Previous post of Exhibition Building:

Exhibition Building, Stanton Iron Works






I have just come back from a visit to the Exhibition Centre, which used to be used as a cinema along time ago. I was inspired to go to this location by a photographer 

who's name is Andy Wallis.
The area was really interesting as there was a lot of broken windows, shattered walls and rusty metalwork!! The Exhibition Building was part of the former Stanton Iron Works which is now closed and all the workers moved on. I managed to get inside the building as I met the owner who let me inside and talked me through the site and which room was which. This was a very rare opportunity and very lucky as if I had turned up 1 minute earlier or 1 minute later he wouldn't have been there and I wouldn't have had the chance to see inside the building!

Dereliction At It's Highest


I am a student studying a Foundation Art and Design Course in Photography and for my final Project i have chosen to look at the theme Dereliction and Social/Political Issues that surround us in our present world. Here are some of the photographs that i have produced for part of my project that i feel show the theme Dereliction very well. I have had to put copyright over the photographs because there are people out there who use images/videos without permission. If you are interested in purchasing prints please contact me and i will be able to chat and discuss prices etc. The prints you receive will be without the copyright information.
