To walk with him down the shadowy streets of a city is like travelling into a different parallel dimension, opening secret doorways to a spectral past with forebodings of trance-like encounters with wandering lost spirits.



With his unique eye for light and shadow which imbues his work with an eerie ghostly paranoia, this ebook is the first of a series that follows his journey along deserted cobbled streets, unmarked alleyways and ruined castles that have attracted and intrigued the photographer on his travels.



Mark Robert Davey achieves an artistic effect in his photographs using added overlaid textures, giving a grain film like ambiance and feel, often displayed with dark vignettes.
