STEPHEN KNIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

Lost Places

I have been fascinated by Urbex (Urban Exploring) photography for many years. Photography in "Lost Places" includes portraits, colourful light painting, plus warm and cool white illlumination.

If you are interested in working with me for a professional project, photography workshop, portrait session, or to purchase prints, please go to the contact page.

This is a location I have passed by many times before, and I finally stopped to take a photo of this underground river junction. I like the somewhat haphazard transitions between the older brick and newer concrete. Maybe the workers though that no one would ever photograph their work? Illuminated using two Convoy S21E 519A torches with diffusers (40% output), one 2700k, and one 5700k CCT.
