Dr. Bradley Garrett in UNDERWORLD, screening on Friday, November 7, at 7:30 p.m.

Dr. Bradley Garrett, one of the researchers featured in the documentary Underland, is a social geographer, explorer, and photographer who has published over 50 academic journal articles and book chapters and writes for several newspapers and magazines, including The Atlantic, Vox, GQ, the Daily Beast, and The Guardian. His urban landscape photography has been published in dozens of high-profile international periodicals, including National Geographic. His work has recently been covered by 60 Minutes and the Joe Rogan Experience.

Previously an archaeologist with the United States Bureau of Land Management, Brad moved to London in 2008 and began sneaking into lost, forgotten and off-limits places in the city, photographing them, and sharing them with the public. His first book, Explore Everything: Place-Hacking the City, is an account of his adventures trespassing into ruins, tunnels and skyscrapers in eight different countries with an urban exploration crew called the LCC. This book has been translated into Korean and Japanese and is currently being scripted into a feature-length film in Los Angeles.

While working at the University of Oxford in 2014/2015, Dr Garrett published Subterranean London: Cracking the Capital, a photographic dissection of what lies underneath the streets of London, layer by layer. 2016 marked the release of the final book in his urban exploration triptych; London Rising: Illicit Photos from the City’s Heights, which documents the social, infrastructural and corporate verticalities of the city.  Dr Garrett recently published his fifth book entitled Bunker: Building for the End Times. The book follows ‘prepper’ communities across four continents who are preparing for the apocalypse.
