Martijn Walet Photography

Walking through the ashes of time, flaring up the dust of that what once was. Being aware of the energetic life that once embraced this place. A passion for abandoned places.

I am Martijn Walet, Urban Photographer, with a passion for abandoned (or derelict) locations. That moment when I feel the warmth of the sun embrace me, even on the coldest winter days. Walking towards this ‘new’ beauty who was lost and forgotten in time. This doesn’t just warm up my body, it warms up my mind. It gives a certain sensation which is incomprehensible.
The transitions some of these places make during their years of abandonment, it gives me a rush. A rush to explore, a rush to capture it with my camera. Eager to bring the past back to life. 
 
Every time I walk in to a certain location, I am aware of the belongings people have left behind. Some for no reason in  particular, others for reasons unknown to me. Every location has it’s own rich history. If only the walls could talk, they would tell you an absolute Hollywood story. 
In sometimes I’ll learn the history of a location and there I will encounter attributes that will throw me back 40/50 years.  Stunned, amazed and enamoured it has been “frozen” in time. That is the atmosphere I love to capture…..

Beautiful Lake View

Martijn Walet Photography
The site is huge, the site has a long history. One owned by a politician who build this beautiful villa on top of the hill. Looking at a marvelous lake. Giving his lovely lady her own private part in the garden, so she could think about the meaning of live. I can only imagine how she drank her wine in this tiny summer garden.. Offcourse the garden is symmetric and so is this summer garden, there are two of them.

Psychic door

Martijn Walet Photography
One of the most famous doors in the urban / abandoned world. A door in a abandoned Psychic ward. De depth and the colors of the interior are incredible to behold, it makes you wander or wonder around in the art work. The moment I set foot on this ground I totally fell in love with this place. A place with a long history regarding psychic help.

Holy Fresco

Martijn Walet Photography
Once build by the count of this region, after his death the premisses was “given” to the local church. Which converted it into a convent; after a financial debacle, it was decided to completely empty and leave the building. Leaving behind this particularly beautiful corridor full of frescoes. When I walked on the the hall, the sun rises and came throught the opposite window behind me. Giving it a beautiful ray of light, which it deserves.

Stairporn

Martijn Walet Photography
For several years I’ve been looking for this truly beauty …. one of the finest staircases I have ever encountered. Hidden inside a former convent, that dates back on the fundaments of former convents to more than hundred of years. As years passed on the convent transformed into a palace, a palace which was hardly attacked during the second WorldWar. This palace truly serves as a tangible representation of the city’s history and architecture.
