This is a dangerous hobby for a photographer. But for Dan Marbaix, it’s just like any other hobby that you truly love doing. Even if he’s been arrested 20 times for trespassing and even held at gunpoint once in Italy, for him it’s all totally worth it.
Dan has traveled around the world to capture some of the most beautiful abandoned buildings. Check out some of his photos below and see if you agree.
