I cannot lie- there is nothing quite like the feeling of a successful outing capturing urban and street photographs. Itching to get out and capture— it always comes to the point of winter ending, and where it stretches on, my fatigue and lack of vitamin D weigh heavier and heavier. Thankfully in March it was warm enough for an outing to explore, capture and create mood-chilling fine-art images.
When it comes to urban terrain like this, you have to experience it while you can— but not live so close to the edge. Where we adventured in London, Ontario, did not amount to lone-wolf excursions, as those who reside locally most likely know it would not be ideal to ponder around and inside the premises alone with my Sony A300 camera.
Adventures like this are always rememberable, where hours pass studying the grunge and grit-like atmosphere throughout the abandoned McCormick Factory on Dundas Street. I won't go too heavily into detail- as I later stitched together short-form videos for social media to relive this experience.
Furthermore, I can only hope this building remains structurally intact for a bit longer, as it gives a limitless playground for fine-art photographers like me in London, Ontario. As long as we lurked in the shadow-filled maze of concrete and glass structures, plenty of scenes and ground pending discovery for even more fine-art photograph ideas.
Furthermore, there has been a lot on my plate— and only in positive ways, with a laid-back update and the excursions at hand- I hope you can find a therapeutic release for the fine-art images captured and created. It is not every day I get to conquer spontenous urban exploration in London, Ontario, on a level like this. Photographs of this medium, where it may have been an unwelcoming environment altogether, for a hobbyist photographer, it was a grand escape, like an amusement park for artists. While sourcing additions of gallery-grade artwork products, I invite you to check in via my shop and stay tuned for updates!
