 A thoughtfully curated collection - born from my travels across the world, seeking the exquisite beauty that can be found within dark and curious places.

Each piece is meticulously printed to the highest standards on premium-quality, 100% cotton rag fine art paper using archival-grade pigment inks. This combination ensures exceptional longevity and delivers true giclée quality, rich in detail and depth.

I’m Victoria, a UK based travel photographer and founder of The Alternative Guide.

Every time I travel to a new city I create an extraordinary itinerary featuring unusual, dark and curious locations which often lay undiscovered.

I’ve created The Alternative Guide to reveal a different perspective on some of the major cities across the world, encourage support for local independents and to share my black book of unexpected places to visit.

Hopefully this will inspire you to step off the beaten track and at the same time provide a comprehensive guide for fellow off-beat adventurers when travelling to a new city.

Thanks for reading and please reach out if you have any questions!
