Urban Exploration // Abandoned Mill, Bradford • Video by Barnaby Aldrick
You may remember that I recently posted a blog about a sweet short movie by Irish Photographer Larry McMahon in an empty mill. It had a haunting ’28 days later’ feel to it (check it out here) and he’d shot it on a ‘Glidetrack‘, which is basically a portable ‘Dolly’ rail you can attach your […]
Urban Portraits // 3B Media • Inspiring Photography Workshop – a great success!
This week Rob Booker, Phil Barber & myself ran our first 3B Media ‘Inspiring Photography’ workshop, called ‘Urban Portraits’. We’ve been planning it for quite some time now and it turned out to be such a fantastic day! At the Round Foundry Media Centre near Leeds’ Granary Wharf we brought together 2 models, a make-up […]
3B Media & Randall Network // Urban Portraits [photography by Barnaby Aldrick]
Back in October we had a cheeky Randall Network catch-up at TGI’s in Leeds for photographers who’ve rallied under Stewart Randall‘s photographic umbrella. It was a social really, and lots of fun getting together with like-minded creatives. Afterwards we 3B had planned to meet our Urban Portraits workshop models to do a little practice shoot […]
Ich bin ein Berliner! // German weekend break • by Barnaby Aldrick
Last weekend Clare & I took a few day’s off for a winter break in Berlin! In spite of it being FREEZING we had an ace time roaming the streets, soaking in the great food, fascinating wartime & East/West history and gluvine! We flew in via the oft maligned but impressively cheap Ryanair, and caught […]
Adel Ghost Town // Leeds • UrbEx photography by Barnaby Aldrick
Last week Mr Lester and I visited an abandoned Victorian youth correctional facility, called Eastmoor Reformatory, nestled away in the back of Adel. It’s a massive complex dating back to the 1880’s, for naughty workhouse kids who’d turned to a life of crime. We only saw a bit of the massive grounds, housing a […]
Scott Hall Mill // Leeds • UrbEx photography by Barnaby Aldrick
My good man Mr Lester & I recently took a little explore at a derelict Mill I run past nearly every week in Leeds. I’ve always been intrigued to find out what was going on in there… This is one part of the imposing mill, this bit still in use. Chin stroking, security scoping & […]
Rainy day in June [Urban Exploration]
In the summer wedding chaos I forgot to post a bit of ‘summer’ UrbEx michief with my pal James Lester. He know’s some ace spots of hidden Leeds. These adventures with JL took place one soaking June afternoon. Unfortunately we couldn’t find access into any interesting buildings. Check out this concreted shut door at the […]
Flash Day – video from behind the scenes [3B Media]
August is a funny time for us wedding togs. I was just reading a bit of shootsac chat from the lovely Jessica Claire saying that August for her has increasingly become about balancing balancing fun and responsibility. She’s so right; and without being careful, summer can suddenly pass, sometimes literally, in a flash and you […]
Hunslet Mill [Urban Exploration]
So I got up to a little michief again recently doing a bit of Urban Exploration with my pal James Lester. He know’s some ace spots of hidden Leeds. We started around a new flyover in industrial Hunslet, and saw this funky old factory. Here’s my ‘processed’ take on it, all done in Adobe Lightroom. […]
Flash Day!
A few weeks back I met Rob Booker & Phil Barber for lunch & a chin wag at The Cross Keys in Leeds. I was shooting for the Leeds Guide that day. We’d decided our current project was to set up a flash photography day to share our respective photonic knowledge-base. I’m pretty versed in […]
