Welcome To Shadow Photography

This is a website dedicated to Urban Exploration, and Urban Photography.

Urban Exploration is the photo documentation and exploration of abandoned and derelict structures, buildings, mines, and tunnels.

Urban Exploration (often known as Urbex or UE) has no limits, sites visited range from nuclear bunkers to abandoned asylums to live sites such as construction sites or stadiums.

"Take Nothing But Pictures, Leave Nothing But Footprints"

Nothing is broken to gain access to any site and no damage is caused to any site.

From Wikipedia;

Urban exploration (often shortened as urbex or UE) is the examination of the normally unseen or off-limits parts of urban areas or industrial facilities.

Urban exploration is also commonly referred to as infiltration, although some people consider infiltration to be more closely associated with the exploration of active or inhabited sites. It may also be referred to as "draining" (when exploring drains) "urban spelunking", "urban caving", or "building hacking".

The nature of this activity presents various risks, including both physical danger and the possibility of arrest and punishment. Many, but not all, of the activities associated with Urban Exploration could be considered trespassing or other violations of local or regional laws.


If you are going to visit these sites please be aware that they are extremely dangerous, I am not going to be a hypocrite and say do not go to these places. If you choose to visit this sort of site then I will not be held responsible, it is your choice and I am not liable.

  36. I have now been paid, so I have now upgraded and I can begin to add more sites and photos. I have also bought the domain name Shadow-Photography.com, this will come into effect within 72 hours.

    (Posted on 2008-09-25 12:32:00 by Shadow)

  37. Well, this is it I am afraid, until my next pay check comes in, since this is only the free version I have run out of webspace and I am unable to Upload any more photos. But I should have upgraded to a premium account and have everything online by the end of next week.

    Peace, Out
