LET'S MAKE A SHOW TOGETHER
Welcome friends, fans, family and photo enthusiasts to our photoXplorers Indiegogo campaign.
The Television / web series
photoXplorers is a television & web series that follows an adventurous band of photographers & urban explorers around the world as they slip behind the barricades to capture haunting images of abandoned buildings and structures from times past. Our 1st season featured a power plant in Luxembourg, a French sanatorium, a Belgian castle, a German factory, a German cathedral and a coal mine in Belgium. These forgotten industrial mega-structures and institutional remains appeared as post-modern ghost towns.

WATCH EPISODE 4 - Château de Noisy - Belgium - Castle
For season 2, we want to focus our lenses on the forgotten byways and mechanized rust belt of the USA. Europe was incredible but the photoXplorers' team now hopes to capture the gorgeous and decrepit that resides a little closer to home. From creepy asylums for the insane to massive power plants that have been used as film sets by Hollywood and silk & ceramic factories to coal breakers and steel mills as far as the eye can see.
The stories and human connection to these ghostly, neglected and often dangerous locations will be fully explored and artistically resurrected through our team’s unique ability to visualize and interpret the "beauty in decay". The images captured by this talented and charismatic group will be beautiful, original and sincere.
WATCH EPISODE 6
The Church at Kent School, Germany
The cast and crew of photoXplorers are incredibly passionate about bringing you this series. On every episode, photoXplorers invites YOU to climb over the barbed wire fences and slip past the plywood to marvel at the beauty of these incredible abandoned structures. The 2nd season of photoXplorers will shadow the adventures and pursuits of this unique band of accomplished photographers as they prowl through the abandoned US heartland, creating incredible art from the effects of neglect and merciless time.
Why we need you?
The series aired around the world and gained a very loyal and enthusiastic fan base BUT we did not reach all of you. The show did not air in every territory on the planet. We want to make the second season available to everyone. With a fair and modest budget of $45,000 the crew can find, explore and shoot 7 new locations. Each location will become it's own show - 22 minutes of pure, unadulterated voyeurism. If we go past our goal and raise more funds, like say $60,000, we'll do more episodes and every dollar will go towards editing the best possible series for YOU. And if we reach a donation amount of $100,000... after we pick ourselves off the floor, maybe we can start our own web channel!
Season 2 of photoXplorers may take the viewers from New York state to Ohio, Pennsylvania to Connecticut and West Virginia to Michigan. Cheap motels and even cheaper food will fuel the 5 adventurers and our 2-man crew. We will come back with hours and hours of HD footage that, with the magic of editing, will eventually become 144 minutes of the most riveting television and web content.
