The five explorers featured on photoXplorers are collectively known as The
DK Photo Group.

The DKPG evolved out of a group of photographers with a common passion
finding themselves in common circumstances. They all enjoy preserving
history with their cameras, as well as sharing the images with the public.
Many emails flew back and forth, many ideas were shared. The end results
is what you see, photographers working together to find and document these
locations, as well as locate the appropriate spaces to display their work.

Though each has their own artistic voice, what binds them together is
their common subject matter. Exploring the forgotten, decaying and
derelict relics of society, this group photographs and documents those
buildings which once stood as bastions of social institutions. Now silent
and testament to the history of our social past, they are artifacts left
to deteriorate.

We are an urban art force like few others, moving around your world,
gaining access to the forgotten and lonely corners. We go where few know
about, where fewer still would dare to venture themselves. We are poets,
archeologists, artists, documentarians and anthropologists. We bring the
past to light, trying to understand and share it with a new generation.

We are your neighbours and coworkers, normal people who lead normal lives.
Some people collect stamps or help to save the rainforest. We collect
images and try to preserve our own local history. Just because everyone
else walks past certain locations without a second thought or glance does
not mean that we have to.

We hope our work helps you gain a new understanding of the world around you.
