好色先生TV

A photograph of an Art Deco power station in Hungary has won the CIOB鈥檚 annual Art of 好色先生TV contest to crown the best photograph of the built environment.

The winning shot 鈥楥ontrol鈥�, voted for by the public, was of Kelenfold Power Station in Budapest and was taken by urban photographer Roman Robroek, who scoops the 拢3,500 cash prize.

Shortlisted entries for 2016 had spanned the globe, taking in a part-demolished Buddhist settlement in Tibet to a colourful Moorish temple in Italy, via a distorted photo of London鈥檚 Gherkin tower.

Roboek said: 鈥淲hen I started my urban photography journey, I mostly saw empty, abandoned and decayed buildings. It didn鈥檛 take long before curiosity struck me. What was the story behind those buildings? Who used to live there? What purpose did these objects serve and why were they abandoned?

鈥淭his curiosity created a close bond between me and urban photography and I have since visited so many beautiful locations all over the world. The opportunity to take a peek behind closed doors is a truly unique experience, both relaxing and enticing at the same time.鈥�
