MASKED intruders look sinister but really they are a gang of urban exploring pranksters. Using make-up, special effects and light-painting techniques two urban explorers and their partners in grime have travelled around the best of British abandoned site to capture off-radar locations at their most spooky. The creepy photographs were taken by film maker and visual effects artist David Broad, and his partner Julie Kendall, after being gripped by the urban exploration world. 'Julie and I went for a walk one day and saw a sign that read 'danger keep out this is not a playground', well this was like a red flag to a bull and we had to see,' said David
