Architecture nominee

Captured in Portugal, I had the chance to find by chance this abandoned school in Lisbon that looks like a beautiful manor. This hallway is so impressive you would have never thought children used to study there. Now, it is forgotten but we can still hope for a better future for this place. With my picture, I tried to show the grandeur of the building; but also the light that was shining everywhere to make it joyfull for the students.The place is also very symetrical which strengthen this impression.

Passionate forever by travels and photography, Romain Veillon is specialized in the urban exploration of our abandon heritage across the world; whether it is old castles, factories, hospitals or even churches. He immortalizes these places where time seems to be frozen and share with us the discovery of these incredible locations that the world have forgotten. Each photography owns its proper history and invite us to dive with him looking for these ghosts of the past. His work questions us on the connections between Man and his environment in a society where recent changes push us to interrogate about our former actions and their consequences today.
