Christmas is fast approaching, and the holiday camps are emptying, which means that it is a perfect time to create some unusual photo books.
There are quite a few artists and photographers that document the empty spaces left behind after people depart, resulting in eerily empty art works that leave the viewer feeling uneasy.
Camp sites are an ideal place to find such photographic fodder. The traces left behind of where caravans were parked or tents were pitched are easily captured and when combined with desolate play areas and ice cream huts that are closed can produce a stunning body of work. There are a handful of photographers that have made a name for themselves travelling costal resorts during winter to give an expectant audience an alternative vision of familiar places. With an eye for a good angle and a knack for good lighting any photographer can turn their hand to documenting similar landscapes.
