Abandoned Places

Photographing abandoned locations is a relatively new genre of photography. It has even coined its own descriptive term: Urbex. These photographs always create a haunting feeling, as if you might see a ghost lurking in the corner (if you look closely enough.)

Urbex

This contest is for your urban exploration photos. Urban exploration (often abbreviated as urbex or EU) consists of exploring artificial structures, often abandoned ruins or poorly visible components of the urban environment. I look forward to seeing your best urbex images.

L’Urbex par Romain Veillon

Romain Veillon (1983-) est un photographe français spécialisé dans la visite de lieux abandonnés : l’urbex. Il capte l’ambiance surannée d’espaces urbains en décrépitude, où la nature reprend peu à peu place. Romain Veillon fait ses gammes en autodidacte, il commence par photographier différents endroits délaissés autour de la petite ceinture parisienne. Cette passion se prolonge dans ses voyages à travers le monde. Par ses photographies Romain Veillon établit un dialogue entre passé, présent et futur. Certains espaces ont poursuivis leur délabrement, d’autres ont été détruits, vandalisés ou restaurés. La photo devient le témoin d’une époque, le relevé optique d’un bâtiment à un moment T. Dans ces instantanés parfois post-apocalyptiques, le spectateur peut projeter une histoire fantasmée.

Inside Abandoned Buildings

For this contest I would like to see your photographs of the inside of abandoned buildings which you have explored but have been forgotten. Please only show the inside of buildings that have been abandoned, not maintained ruins. The dirtier, creepier, and more forgotten, the better. Also, please make sure your photographs are taken inside the building.
