Orphans of Time
It was a day early in 2012 that my obsession with abandoned buildings began, I felt this huge unity with these places, they spoke to my soul and being inside them was the greatest feeling ever. Consumed by the beauty I found in their decay and history, for 5 years I have been photographing these places.
I have travelled all around Europe and last year the world, in 2014 I produced my first book Soviet Ghosts and this year my second one Fukushima will come out in the shops in April. But for these 5 years, what I have really been collecting these photos for is something truly special, an indulgent celebration of the photos I have created for my series Orphans of Time.
I will be producing a very special limited edition book of 2000 copies, all will be signed and numbered, they will look like old Victorian photo albums, each will have a black cover, embossing, and gold debossed lettering, the edges of the paper will be gold leaf and a metal clasp will hold the book shut. Inside will be hundreds of photos taken over the last 5 years. The book itself will look like a remnant from the past, perhaps more at home on the old dusty bookshelf of one of the abandoned houses that I roam.
Who would be interested in getting a copy?
