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. 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. |
