URBAN EXPLORATION PHOTOGRAPHY
Urban exploration photography is the method of going to an abandoned or desolate places that you would have to explore to find, and taking photos to emphasize that they are deserted and desolate.
Mood board for this project
This is a mood board to represent my ideas and inspiration for this project. these images all portray the theme of urban exploration as the images were all taken in deserted places that were once busy urban areas. The 3 images on the bottom row are different as they are taken from a different perspective of urban exploration, using the idea of exploring tall building or structures to take pictures from a birds eye view. i have developed this idea further in shoot 3.
Shoot 1
Critical analysis
This work reflects on run down society and the explores the realm of adventure. These photos were taken in an abandoned expansive warehouse where i wanted to emphasise the feeling of a place once busy but now left to ruin. In the 1st and 5th photo i have focused on particular objects with a neglected background. In images 2,3,4 I have focused on the source light beaming through the gaps in the ceiling and walls which highlight the desolation of the building. I like the mood the images create as they make you feel like time has paused. To improve

Shoot 2
For this shoot I wanted to look at textures of some disused trains at a local rail way station. I wanted to look at texture of the old rusty trains.
I feel this shoot was relatively successful as I captured the details within the trains well.
