Fotograaf Matt Emmett houdt ervan om vergeten plekken opnieuw te ontdekken. Voor hem zijn er al mensen geweest, hebben daar iets gebouwd maar zijn uiteindelijk weer vertrokken. Soms met een goede reden, en op sommige plekken is het onbekend waarom.

Gewapend

Matt gaat gelukkig niet alleen naar binnen, hij neemt elke keer zijn camera mee en maakt schitterende foto’s van de vergeten locaties. Zijn fotoserie neemt ons mee door heel Europa en laat ons verschillende plekken zien, van oude kerkreactors tot verlaten hotels.

Mooi

De foto’s zijn in ieder geval prachtig en zo kunnen wij er ook van genieten, zonder dat we zelf over het hek moeten klimmen.

De volledige serie, en anderen, kun je vinden op de site van Matt Emmett.

The beautifully situated 13th century Nunney Castle in Somerset. An @englishheritage site with free entry. Shot here at dusk. Showing the small moat and circular towers that surround its compact courtyard. Which are your favourite castles? Pentax K3ii.

The hugely impressive cathedral of Saint David's located on the northern peninsula of Pembrokeshire, Wales. Inside, the floor slopes slightly due to subsidence with the cathedral having been built on boggy ground. Obviously this is not abandoned but its an amazing bit of heritage.

The church at Avebury has a really beautiful interior and such a peaceful, calming atmosphere. I am starting to realise just how much I love chirches these days. I think my ideal home may be a converted church or chapel. One can dream!

Niet alleen Matt Emmett is op zoek naar verlaten plekken. Pablo Iglesias zoekt vaak verlaten hotels op en vergelijkt deze met de oude foto’s.
