Dilapidated
So I wanted my shot to look a little different. So after a few initial shots myself and my friend Sam thought it would be a cracking idea to throw sand in to the air off the floor to create dust so that my camera could then pick up the gorgeous light rays that were appearing through the gaps in the window and flooring behind and onto the chairs.
An image that has been well received since late in 2014 and an image that I wasn't originally going to enter.
It was in 2014 that I began shooting my first abandoned building series entitled “Decadence” and 3 years on I have built up an impressive portfolio of both interior and location photography taken in some of the most unique photography spots in the world.
With a primary focus of capturing rich colour palettes and straight lines in the camera, I then like to take the raw photograph and use modern post processing techniques on it to produce each completed image that you see displayed here on my website. Throughout the last 3 years comments are always made by viewers of my work in relation to my composition, which is ace as it is something that I take great pride over.
Travel plays a huge part in my image making, having visited ten countries in the last twelve months alone and it is this passion for travel combined with my love for photography that keeps me motivated and passionate about the work that I create.

Initially shooting here in the United Kingdom in late 2013 before moving across Europe throughout 2014 and early 2015.So I wanted my shot to look a little different.
