Back in November Diana Braun came up to shoot with me in the abandon asylum.
I had shot here a few times before, in fact I was forming an emotional attachment to this building. Then I had had a tip off it was going to be renovated shortly, I needed to get back in there one last time as the building had so much more to offer. Luckley Diana Braun was available at short notice. I was so worried we might be too late that I spent the weekend before checking out some alternative locations. I’m so glad I did because this caused my main photography interest to shift to urban decay.
We short for four hours, and got loads of really good stuff despite nearly all the windows being boarded up. The lack of light was a real problem but having just upgraded to a 5Dmk2 was a big help!
As soon as we got in I showed Diana around the bits I intended to use (a full tour would have taken hours). I could tell straight away she understood why I wanted to shoot here and knew how to make the location work for us.
I posted the first few photos a while ago but kept the rest back as I was intending to get a copy of Adobe Lightroom shortly and needed something to try it out on, hope everyone likes them.
