Night Vision: The Art of Urban Exploration

by Troy Paiva

Night Vision: The Art of Urban Exploration Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

A booming subculture is on the rise: dubbed Urban Exploration, it involves sneaking into abandoned or off-limits factories, aviation boneyards, decommissioned bases, and other derelict features of the military/industrial landscape. Troy Paiva is a foremost photographer of the UrbEx (as it's known to its devotees) phenomenon, and his distinctive blend of atmospheric night photos and lighting effects are the visual hallmarks of a scene that has drawn the increasing attention of the media and the publicas seen in recent programs on both the Discovery Channel (Urban Explorers) and MTV (Fear). Illuminated by histories of the sites documented, Night Vision reveals the remarkable discoveries of a new generation of explorers.
