Welcome to Abandoned World Photography, a collection of urbex videography and photography that takes you on an incredible journey back centuries through time, exploring the world’s forgotten corners.
I am an Irish photographer who has travelled far and wide, capturing the beauty and decay of abandoned buildings in Australia, the UK, Spain, Ireland, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. From eerie, forgotten hospitals to derelict factories and ruined castles, I have been passionate about bringing these often-overlooked beauties back to life through my lens for the past 10 years.
Join me on a journey through time and discover the beauty and mystery of the world’s abandoned buildings. Are you ready to unlock the secrets of the past and explore the unknown?
