My best friend introduced me to abandoned and forgotten places in March 2023. We watched lost place videos together and I was very fascinated by them. He said to me "I know something, let's go". So we drove about 45 minutes to an abandoned rehab clinic. When we got there, I was amazed when I saw the huge abandoned area in the middle of the forest. I was so excited and impressed that I have been visiting and photographing more and more abandoned places ever since. At first I only used my mobile phone, but after a while I was no longer satisfied with the quality. So I bought my first camera in February 2024 and started to teach myself everything I needed to know to get started. You never stop learning, so I'm always keen to learn new things about photography and image processing.
