Urban Decay Photography
Urban Decay is fascinating to me, just how a once populated area like a theatre can then become a mess of peeling wallpaper and fallen structures, simply left empty to decay in the shadows. Besides that, decaying buildings can be a fantastic hotspot for photography, with deserted hallways and the sun creeping in through broken windows there is plenty to snap away at!

Tips for Urban Decay Photography

Does anyone take raw photographs anymore? These are awesome photos, however, every single one has HDR applied to them.
I want to see decay at its finest . . . with NO effects.

Yes, that is a fair point, however I think the HDR effect works nicely for this subject!
Hey Mike,
I really enjoyed your images. I worked as a hazmat chemist, and now for the last 18 yrs treat ppl in pain. Part of what I do to balance my life is work in glass, and now cloth, with a bit of painting. I am still haunted by images of the disposal facilities and waste clean up projects I have done in the past, combined with the Pain that ppl I work with feel. Chemistry, the inflammation on the earth and environment, and now in ppls bodies. I keep getting images in my mind that I haven’t figured out how to put down on paper yet. You have a bit of it though. Abandonment, paths, doorways into light, or decay if the wrong path is chosen. Anyway, I ramble. Thank you for sharing the pics.

Thank you for being my inspiration!
Beautiful. Detroit by chance? We don’t get many opportunities for this type of photography in the UK as disused properties get locked up for “Elf and Safety” reasons.
