I just recently found out that Reuben Wu, aside from being a British DJ, producer and keyboardist for Ladytron, was also an avid photographer. Apparently the story goes that he started getting a bit more serious about photography when he decided to document his personal tour experiences and making the most out of being a musician on the road, while visiting some remarkable locations. Since then, he’s has amassed an impressive collection of cameras, which he has modified, spliced and pushed to their limits, all in the name of experimentation and discovery. This has resulted in a diverse and unusual and almost other-worldy like body of work, from urban architecture, to desert and remote landscapes.
Be sure to check out more of Reuben’s amazing on his Flickr.
Big thanks to Wendy Stenzel at NEST Artists for supplying the photos and info regarding Reueben Wu.

Stunning. Would love to see Wu compile a massive collection in print.
The building in that last photo is incredible. Any info on where/what it is?

His work is always astonishing and he is a lovely guy as well!
This is my favorite cultural blog. Correction: dessert->desert.
This shit beats 1000 mega pixel camera shots anyday
Been following him on flickr for awhile now, definitely some great stuff.
The building in the first and in the last photo is in Brazil.
Reuben is a very talented person; with a distinctive photographic style.
He has a website and published a beautiful book of photographs recently.
