Some shots from my visits to West Park (updated btm pg 1)
I think 99% of the planet know about West Park Asylum by now, so I don't know what else to say really. I have been documenting this massive complex for the last year, and have seen it get worse with every subsequent visit. I don't think it's current state is going to last much longer, as vandals and taggers have started to visit with alarming frequency.
I have around 300 different photos covering pretty much the entire complex, taken over eight visits starting last september. I've listed a few of my favourites here, though it's hard to pick favourites because each image of West Park is just as good as any other in my opinion. As I'm also a commercial photographer, I even took a model with me there to do a shoot in the padded cells, I think that may have been a first! It was for his portfolio and he wanted something interesting. The third shot is of him getting changed between shoots. I lugged studio lights, reflectors and powerpacks with me that day, it was a long journey from the car park to the cells, especially with a portable studio on your back and three cameras!
Hope you enjoy.
