Abandoned School (First Urbex in Brisbane)

So a few months ago, I had a sudden obsession and appreciation for abandoned buildings especially while I was in Brisbane, they have way more interesting ones than in Malaysia. They call it Urbex (urban exploration : the exploration of man-made structures, usually abandoned ruins or not usually seen components of the man-made environment). So this abandoned art college/school is one of many that I've managed to find.  

one word to describe this place : beautiful mess

main entrance of the school

there were loadsssss of this everywhere 

creepy hallways

their graffiti gets more amazing as we explored

While exploring we took some time to do a bigger shoot that we've thought and planned before hand. This was one of them.

Here's how we did it :

 throw loads of papers of course and layer them in photoshop

 and more

you get the point..

I took about more than 60 pictures so it took some time to choose the best ones. 

So there it is! Hopefully more urbex to come in the future!

Special thanks to Shawn and Solo for helping out!

Couch Shoot

Few weeks ago, I stumbled onto a couch that was thrown away while I was walking back home, so I thought "hey this could be a good prop for shoots." Brought some of my house mates to help out and here are some of the behind the scenes!

Took about an hour to wrap up everything and the cops came just when we finished so it's all good! 

Thanks to Shirley for the following behind the scenes pictures!
