Psycho-Photography

Abandoned walks

For mapping out a journey, some photographers use the simple technique of going on a walk and photographing everything as you see it. This is a type of documentary photography due to the individual wanting to capture a specific thing so that image remains outside of that second.
I also wanted to capture how people have disturbed this once loved environment and left it to overgrow and rot.

For my walk, I wanted to explore somewhere desolate and closed off from reality. I discovered a small piece of private land that I was permitted to explore. I was intrigued by this area due to there being a series of abandoned green houses and overgrown shrubs. This area was eerily quiet with plants and weeds scratching against the once standing greenhouses trying to get out. These slight noises gave an atmosphere of sadness to me because these green houses were once thriving with colour, now all that’s left is rotting and decay with the musky smell of damp.
