Urban exploration is often misunderstood.

Behind every abandoned building lies a story of people, industry, ambition, and change. Diary of a Deviant takes audiences beyond the photographs to explore the hidden world of forgotten places through striking imagery, personal experiences, and the fascinating histories that still linger within their walls.

From abandoned factories and theatres to prisons, hospitals, mines and military sites, this presentation reveals locations that few people ever have the opportunity to see. Along the way, audiences discover the realities of urban exploration, the ethics of photographing vulnerable sites, and the creative techniques used to capture atmosphere and emotion in places where time has stood still.

Combining visual storytelling with humour, history, and photography, Diary of a Deviant is suitable for photographers, history enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the hidden places that exist all around us.

Each talk lasts approximately 90 to 120 minutes and includes opportunities for questions and discussion.
