TORONTO, CANADA, October 28, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- If a picture's worth a thousand words, Bravo!'s new series photoXplorers is worth a million. photoXplorers follows a daring group of photographers as they put their day jobs on hiatus and travel the world to capture the eerie beauty of forgotten industrial mega-structures, castles, and sanatoriums. The series kicks off as the band of guerilla photographers investigate an abandoned 1860s coal mine in Hasard de Charette, Belgium.
photoXplorers premieres Thursday, November 5 at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT on Bravo!. Weekly half-hour episodes air only on Bravo! Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
photoXplorers reveals beauty in decaying structures, from an abandoned French sanatorium, to a retired power plant in Luxembourg, to a French Revolution-era castle in Belgium. The photoXplorers crew, consisting of members of the DK Photo Group, showcase the splendor of post-modern ghost towns and crawl under barbed-wire fences into the unknown each week.
Directed by Claude Barnes, photoXplorers is produced by Keep It In The Family Productions in association with Bravo!. Keep It In The Family Productions has been producing television for the international market for more than 25 years with Emmy and Gemini award-nominated producers, writers, editors, directors of production, and directors.

About DK Photo Group
The DK Photo Group is a collaborative effort, drawing together six photographers with similar interests to bring their vision and art to the world. Russell Brohier, Sean Galbraith, Steve Jacobs, Laurin Jeffrey, Mathew Merrett and Jay Morrison formed the DKPG in 2005 as they began to take notice of each other and their work. Together, they document the forgotten urban areas where most people will not go.
They do this to bring back the images they feel that they must share with the world. The DKPG wants others to be able to see what they have seen, what others do not want them to see. The decay, the neglect and the careless abandonment that many would just bulldoze into the earth, forever burying their stories.
Having exhibited solo and with others, this exhibition marks the second show by the entire group. After rave reviews of their Contact 2006 exhibition, the DKPG is pleased to be able to mount another group effort.
