• Reginald Van de Velde takes photos of forgotten places, of abandoned spaces where time has ground to a halt. His haunting photos are simply breathtaking
• Many exclusive locations that have never been photographed before

The unknown and the unseen have always held an undeniable appeal to human nature. In a world that is ever growing and changing, there are places that inevitably slip out of memory and out of sight.

Reginald Van de Velde's Between Nowhere & Never shows the past splendor of derelict hospitals, mothballed monasteries, defunct power stations, crumbling castles and many other dormant structures. As a devoted traveler, he journeys into forsaken places all over the world, trying to capture the momentum of a fragile abandonment - the result of an intangible desire to explore what mankind has left behind.

The chapters written by Mirna Pavlovic weave the photographs together into a larger narrative, providing an insight into the photographer's thoughts and motivations, and breathe new life into places desperately searching for it. With the reverberation of time as a vantage point, this book will take you on a journey to places that exist between nowhere and never.
