This is a set that that I took back in 2008 in Cwm Coke Works in South Wales. This abandoned industrial site drips with atmosphere, from the abandoned newspapers with last dates of work on them, to the rusting and precarious structures, tired-looking from many years of uncaring exposure to the elements.

This shot was taken in Abernant Tunnel, South Wales. Strong light source behind, coupled with a 30 sec exposure and a stillness and atmosphere you could cut with a knife. Abernant is an abandoned railway tunnel, a mile and a half in length. The central mile is in total blackness, as each end is slightly curved, blocking the light. This day, we walked the full length and back, with only torches for company…

Go into the light…
