TIPS to photograph abandoned buildings - AN INTRODUCTION TO URBEX PHOTOGRAPHY

This is my "how to get started in Urbex Photography" guide. We include tips on how to find abandoned places near you? How to start exploring and what gear do you need in order to do urbex? What about some photography tips - I have you covered there as well.

In this tutorial, I just collect my experience and reveal helpful tips and tricks. So if you can think of something I have forgotten, please share your information in the comment section down below.

And don't forget: Trespassing private property is both illegal and dangerous. I usually seek permission these days.
