Inspiring Photographer

The photographer that inspires me is Barnaby Aldrick. He specialises UrbEx photography, which is photography of old industrial buildings, hospitals and asylums, that have shut down. His work stands out to me particularly becuase of how he mixes the UrbEx style with a light trail technique. In the photo bellow he states:

"I then decided to have a wee dance with my torch, over a 30 second exposure.  I love the way the torch patterns are reflected on the floor."

The reason I enjoy his work and would like to pass on some aspects to mine is because I think it's really unique and adds an aspect of beauty to these run down old buildings. The second reason is because I like the creepy feel that his work has to it. The main idea of photography is to trigger emotions and by invoking fear or unease, that's just what it does.
