My Bio
I'm an industrial and decay photographer from Switzerland. My work revolves around the slow battle between human structures and nature’s decay processes. My pictures show internal spaces, external structures, crumbling walls, industrial details and abstract compositions. They are memento mori of forgotten places, demonstrating that the absence of human life changes a location fundamentally. All of my photographs are available light shots, with occasional experimentation in HDR, and are published under a Creative Commons (attribution share alike) license

Now they're almost all gone, torn down, with one re-used as a museum, another one as a underground waste storage. I miss them, the magnificent sisters. The series is about 100 pics long, taken on a couple of really cold winter days. I will post them 10 or so pics at a time. Maybe I'll come around to process th

I really love your work!
Really interesting to see what happens in the history of the world / what people do to their environment

Well done, and please keep doing it!!!

'Ello, I just wanted to tell you how much I adore your photographs. Chernobyl has always been a point of interest for me, and these pictures just say it all.
I hope to visit there one day, and maybe I'll get pictures like yours if I'm lucky enough ^.^

Thanks so much for adding me to your watch :hug: your gallery is epic, I'm also infatuated with urban exploration and industrial, just wish I was able to get out more and also that there were more industrial areas near me.
