Provost, a 33-year-old Belgian security guard, said: "In my images, you can see that there is beauty in decay.

"I see memories and beautiful old cars which have a great history that has been long forgotten and hidden by nature.

"I love the thrill and silence when on location, it feels like you are muted to the outside world.

"When people see the photos for the first time, their mouths fall open and questions come to their minds.”

Despite the thrill he gets when exploring abandoned places Kenneth says that urban exploration can be risky.

He added: "Urban exploration is a dangerous type of photography so it’s important that you don’t play with your life when you’re doing it."
