Urban portfolio

Before getting into portrait photography, I really like city and urban photography. I would shoot late at night, in a abandon buildings, on rooftops, etc. There was a thrill that was added to photography. Imagine exploring an abandonned building in the middle of the night, pitch black, with friends. I loved the adrenaline that was combined with photography. There was something very exciting about capturing the mystiriousness and emptiness of a place. The city is beautiful and full of life at night. I loved capturing the city lights. Everything about urban photography, I loved. Unfortunately, I've stopped doing urban since I'm concentrating on improving my skills as a portrait photographer. However, I will definitely go back to my roots one day. Keep in mind most of my urban pictures were captured when I was starting out in photography so they're not my best! Here's a small portfolio of pictures I took around a year ago.
