And, whilst we may have wound up a local or two in our three years on the scene, we have never once used force to gain entry to a location. From schools to aircraft hangars, Formula 1 headquarters to hotels, Michelin star restaurants to classic car graveyards. Gloucester Cineworld was sealed up shortly after our visit.Īs we stepped out of our comfort zone we began experimenting in all sorts of locations, both countywide and nationwide. We wanted to turn this love of dereliction into a hobby and take any opportunity we could get in order to discover the unknown before it was too late. And, although we may have felt an eerie sense of dread for every step we slumped, we still couldn't help but feel overjoyed at being able to witness our childhoods all over again through a whole new creative eye.įrom that night onward, we decided to make it a regular thing. But we bit the bullet and ventured further and further into the complex like we had VIP passes to the place. ![]() From the shards of glass spread openly across the floors to the splatters of paint dashed across the walls the place was in ruins and barely clinging on. Seeing all of that again was unlike any other thing we experienced, for sure. Hol and I broke into the urban exploring world in September 2016, where we so happened to find ourselves buried deep within the old Gloucester Cineworld complex in the dead of night where most locals were tucked away in bed. We're happily married and share a little home in Worcester with our two beautiful kids Ivy (2) and Jasper (10 months). To put it short, we've been together for almost four years. ![]() But, the rest is history, and we won't bore you with the details of our lovey-dovey romance. That's why we were quick to snap together and become counterparts. We had both felt cheated in so many ways, and I think all we really needed was someone who read from the same page as us. ![]() Because, in all fairness, neither of us were in great positions back then. Or, when Hol finally managed to stumble across my photography page, that is.įrom there we established a pretty strong bond with one another and eventually started dating. And, although we had spent several years knowing each other through various acquaintances, we never really made the linkup until March of 2016 came by. Hol and I met back in early 2016 through the joint fascination in photography and the creative arts.
