Urbex Photography with Etiënne Hessels

Etiënne Hessels is an urbex photographer. He visits old, derelict buildings to photograph them. In this short documentary by Bart Wijnja, he talks about his hobby.
In Etiënne's translation, I think the essence of the famous urbex photographers' motto is lost:
'Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints'
The documentary does give a good impression of urbex photography.

And that's without even mentioning the risks of falling somewhere, cutting yourself, bumping your head, inhaling chemicals or soot or asbestos, encountering metal thieves, guard dogs or junkies etc ... Best never do it alone, park your car far away, put on sturdy shoes. A sweater or shirt with long sleeves, gloves, safety cap, dust mask etc, even if it's warm. I've done it too but hardly do it anymore. Many locations have also been demolished, renovated, closed off or secured.

Cool video! Nice to be able to take a look like this for once and also feel a little bit of that urbex tension.
