Definition of Urban Exploration as it relates to Travel, Travel Photography

Urban exploration, often abbreviated as UE, is a hobby and photographic practice that involves exploring and documenting man-made structures, typically in urban or industrial settings.

Urban exploration combines elements of travel, adventure, photography, and historical preservation, often requiring stealth, resourcefulness, and a respect for the sites visited. It offers a fresh perspective on familiar cities and a chance to uncover hidden stories within our urban landscapes.
