Light painting night photography series Souls – They Never Die taken in the burial ground of St Bartholomew’s Church in Horley, UK

In September, 2012 on my way back from a pub, heading to my hotel nearby, I took a shortcut passing through the St. Bartholomew’s Church burial ground (Horley, Surrey, UK). It was about midnight and there was a fool moon lighting on the grave stones and monuments. They were looking like hundreds of ghosts and the whole environment was spooky and surreal. It was something out of this world, a little bit creepy, a little bit exiting and heart beating. I found out, it is a great scene for photos, but I had no taken my camera. Then I promised myself, someday I will return back. In November, 2016, I had to change my flights at London Gatwick Airport, so I booked the same hotel with intent to accomplish my project, but it was raining. Suddenly, the rain stopped just before the shooting, thus I had enough time to work on.
