urban/industrial area for photoshoot? Edinburgh West.

[ferobert]

There's a dude comin up next week to do a photoshoot of my Hensen for a kitcar magazine. Looking to find an urban kina abondoned industrial location for it. Any ideas? Ill be pickin him up from edinburgh airport so ideally somewhere thats not too far away. Will take a wee drive around to see what i can find at the weeked, but any pointers or places to check out would be great. Thanks

If your looking for a desolate office type wilderness try the royal bank headquarters just down the road from the airport! Lots of people jumping from windows and government civil servants storming the parapets!

Lots of industrial units along South Gyle Crescent - been over a year since I was down there though, so don't know if any are empty/look abandoned etc.

Out Newbridge way would be good - a few whisky bonds and deserted other such places.

Bit of a wilderness TBH.

Newbridge Industrial Est - out of the airport and head west, take first left at Ratho Station (before ped. cross bridge) then right turn.

If you want a recce, give me me a shout.

Cheers

Probably better trying out around the Bathgate Armadale area if you want the weeds and no windows look.
Well done for getting the feature and you need to let us know when its published!

cheers for the suggestions so far. Will have to spend a day at the weekend looking around for a few spots out that way. I think it will be in the March Issue of Complete kitcar. Its getting shot on the day of the edinburgh meet so ill let you know how it went in the pub.
Keep any suggestions coming, thanks.

Boness or fakirk are pretty good for that run down industrial look as well.

Not exactly a 2 min drive from edinburgh for him and he would have no chance at finding fakirk

Having lived in boness and now falkirk I don't quite get that. Perhaps you can explain what you mean on the hh09. Or maybe you will be too busy sipping on tea from your butler.

Boness - Down by the area around the double O bar.

Falkirk - That industrial estate down by the river carron where the honda garage is.

2nd vote for here. Industrial decay indeed. Would look the ballcocks with a twilight shoot and the right lens filter.

went out today and found a perfect derelict warehouse complex in newbridge. Its halfway through being demolished but i spoke to the security guard who said it would be ok to get in to use it for the shoot. Thanks for the other suggestions, will keep them in mind for other occasions. took this pic of one corner of the place, the complex is massive and has loads of indoor bits too. Perfect.

Good find, give us a shout when and where the mag can be bought, its nice to see somethin you have seen in a mag.

Thursday went really well, weather held up and the slight overcast light really helped. Took a bit of persuading to get the site manager to let us in tho, saying sepa was comin down that day.

Its amazing what a professional photographer and some lighting can do, the quality of the photos are superb. It will be in the Aprill issue of Complete kitcar magazine out on the 3rd friday of March, so about 4 weeks. Its an interesting read anyhow especially if you dont normally read kitcar magazines.

Thanks again for the suggestions, plenty places for future photo's.

heres a wee taster for everyone. Ill let you know when the magazine's published so you can all go buy a copy!

He sent me a selection after the shoot and said i could use one as a taster before it came out. Will post some of the others once the mag has been out for a month or so.
