Even without added effects, abandoned buildings and places present stunning subjects for urbex photographers. But French urban explorer Bousure has gone a step further, adding a ghostly figure to these already haunting images captured inside an abandoned mansion.
“I like the mood of these places and the light inside”, Bousure, who first delved into urban exploration photography five years ago, told Urban Ghosts. “I don’t want to take only pictures from abandoned locations. I try [to] do something else with many kinds of staging”.
