Joe Collier - Photographer 2003 - 2008
Joe Collier, Photographer 2003 - 2008 is the main photographer i am looking at mostly because he only looks at abandoned buildings. The best thing about his photos are the variety of places he visits, From hospitals to swimming baths and all of his photographs are brilliant.
'I suppose my motive to do this simply that I like to explore new places and to explore the past. Not just to look in it from behind the dull glass of a museum, but to experience these places firsthand and to try to understand their stories.' Quote from Joe Collier.
My Interest In modern ruins led me to study photography in college with a view to mastering the skills needed to work with black and white film, processing my own work and In autumn 2003 my first Image archive went online using some borrowed web space. In the following few months I began to develop some early attempts at web design finally resulting in the launch of Abandoned Britain in February 2004.
Things have moved on considerably since then, My photography has diversifyed and developed over time and this led me to establish myself as a freelance photographer. I have recently completed a degree in photograpy with multimedia and I am continuing to develop my photographic projects.
At present this website is taking a back seat to other artistic projects but I am currently in the process of revising and updating some of the older photographs and tours.
