UrbanX is a UK based urban explorer. Recent projects range from crawling through the drainage system beneath his city, to living with anarchist squatters, to living in Chernobyl with the workers and guards. Landmarks ranging from Dachau concentration camp, to Tower Bridge, have also recently been explored. This website is updated every five days, so keep an eye on the news feed for updates! In October 2010 he was asked to voice his own BBC Radio 4 Show which you can listen to here: UrbanX on BBC Radio 4 He is also the founder of the ‘Dereliction Addiction’ Urbex video series, which can be found here: www.urbanxphotography.co.uk/videos In 2010 he applied to the Ukrainian Governments Interinform Agency to acquire permission to visit, and photograph the most radioactive place on Earth: The abandoned city of Pripyat, and Chernobyl Reactor-4. The documentaries can be found here, and have also been published in a hardback book: Preview and purchase the book here One year on he wanted more, much more. So set about convincing the Ukrainian government to let him stay in Chernobyl for an extended period of time. Longer than even the Chernobyl workers are permitted. He was granted full access, which meant actually sleeping, eating, and a lot of drinking with the Chernobyl workers & guards…in Chernobyl itself. A year on, he done the same again... The results of this life changing experience can be found here: Please browse the galleries below to see your mundane world in a different light. |

Pripyat / Chernobyl
I have spent 3 years exploring the most radioactive area on Earth - Pripyat, Chernobyl and the militarized exclusion zone. So far I have explored and documented over half of the citys buildings, and driven every single street. I have immersed myself in zone life; eating, drinking, and sleeping with the guards, as well as meeting the resettlers in the red forest. Here's my story: |

Drain Hacking
Running out of ‘different’ places to photograph; last night / early hours of this morning I decided it would be wise to drop into the local drainage system and explore the underground network of tunnels, chambers, and outfalls….This is the world I found. |
