I also post occasional articles on my main website Mechanical Landscapes. And I do mean occasionally – this one I’m linking to is the first one in three years! This one is an evolving list of urbex and industrial landscape books that I recommend. I own them all and some I’ve had for many years which means they are out of print and difficult / expensive to source. But not in every instance, so if you want to know where I get some of my inspiration from, then have a look…

Mechanical Landscapes 
That was a very good collection of books. Some of those I have, some of them I would like to have, some of them never heard of! And a couple of photographers I have written articles about (one of them got two articles).

Thanks Katriina, it’s quite an eclectic collection. Some like Michael Kenna are very well known and respected photographers, while Mike Guess is an electrician in a steelworks.

I must be a bit uneducated as I am not familiar with Michael Kenna’s work… 😦

He’s only done three projects of industrial photographs, the rest of his work is minimalist landscapes, and it is that which he is best known for.

Okay, I am not into minimalistic landscapes… I think…

It’s worth checking out his 3 industrial projects – Rouge (the steelworks in Detroit), Calais Lace and Ratcliffe Power Station. Rouge has been reprinted recently and was a pretty big project. There are a lot of photographs in the book. But there’s quite a bit of it on his website.

I have to keep this in my mind, if I only have time… 🙂
