Follow Friday: Urban Exploration Photographers

Published by Diana Tula · February 15th 2013

Hi everyone! Inspired by the Follow Friday hashtag movement on twitter we are starting a new weekly feature on our blog. With Follow Friday posts you can discover new, popular and up-and-coming photographers from 500px to follow and add to friends.

Ronny Janss

Enjoy clean and elegant photos of abandoned interior design masterfully captured by Ronny Janss. If there ever were Urban Exploration photos that could be called high art this is it.

Jose Vazquez

Though Jose describes his work as "hodgepodge of whatever inspires me", we would add that majority of what inspires him is urban exploration photography. His portfolio consisting of 50/50 colour and black&white photos of lost places.

Daniel Schmitt

Travel to abandoned lavish hotels of Austria and France with Daniel Schmitt's photographs. Luxury lives on even when lost and forgotten.

Ronny Hanisch

Looking for more urbanex photos? Look no further, indulge in artful urban exploration and architecture photography by Ronny Hanisch.

Frank Grace

HDR lovers rejoice! Frank Grace got lots of HDR for you and photos of some great places such as Mark Twain's house, steam-punk inspired imagery and R2-D2.

David Pinzer

Do you want beautiful models and urban exploration? David Pinzer has got it all. Enjoy his work and be on a lookout for photos of ghosts.

Lindsay Blair Brown

Lindsay's portfolio is a mix of street photography and urban exploration. What we love and enjoy most about her urban exploration photos is that even though the subject is abandoned places she somehow manages to bring cheer to such photos with her touch.

*autumncontrol #

Autumn Control's photos appear to be straight from the camera and unprocessed, which is uncommon in the current world of digital photography and brings a breath of fresh air to the urban exploration genre.

Andrea Schuh

Andrea Schuh constructs a black and white reality, which makes you wonder if these photos are depictions of the last days or are a representation of the post-apocalypse.

ChristianRichter

Explore the world of urban exploration with ChristianRichter's photography as he surprises you with unusual angles and beautiful framing.

We hope you enjoyed our roundup! This is the first Follow Friday post in this genre of photography and we can’t wait to share more features with you. Come back next Friday for incredible photographers to follow and get inspired by. For now you can visit our last Follow Friday post highlighting photographers in City & Architecture category. Thanks for reading :)
