Urban Decay Photography

Traveling throughout the Midwest and East Coast, I work to document urban spaces in a state of decay to bring awareness to the underlying beauty within the course of nature.

I often stage myself or other subjects into scenes to bring a sense of life to an otherwise still image. Capturing abandoned places embarks a journey of what once was and could be.

The forgotten treasures of what people have left behind for a moment see life again.
