About Matt Emmett

Highly collected photography series depicting the worlds most fascinating abandoned architecture. This almost decade long project has won several of the worlds most prestigious international photography awards to date and has been widely published online and in the international press.

Initially drawn into the world of abandoned photography, Emmett became hooked on the fascinating back stories behind the locations he visited. Capturing and bringing these stories into peoples homes via his social channels has evolved into a seven year long project called 'Forgotten Heritage'. Since he began he has photographed many diverse locations like abandoned farmsteads in the arctic circle, vast industrial remnants in northern Europe to crumbling villas and hospitals in Italy.

His work also includes some landscape and travel imagery.

More recently Emmett has been working with organisations like the National Trust, HLF and various councils documenting restoration projects and running workshops. He gives talks on photography at clubs and societies and is a product ambassador for Pentax, Manfrotto and Scurion. He is a passionate advocate of learning digital skills and thinks a camera is by far the best gift you could ever give someone! Once separated from his Pentax K1ii he loves history, geology and caving.
