Life still crawls where human presence disappears and will continue to exist as growth and decay.  The beauty of deserted places is a fancy for many photographers even though it is sad to see places which are abandoned. These places have a history sometimes which can be noticed. People used to leave in the past and when they migrate, leave behind  it becomes another world in itself.

Human made building, machines start to decay and thus rust is formed which is red, brown , orange in color. Urban decay Photography is an amazing art which deals with showcasing decayed environment. Photographers sometimes go ahead and add additional Photoshop effects like HDR with their urban decay photographs for added immersion. I still like to see the real pic rather than the edited one but the below listed images are ok even with the HDR.

Decay is a constant process which is an act of God so only thing to delay it is fixing it. These urban decay inspiration will give you ideas of how photographers find themselves in different places exploring through unwanted, deserted places currently with no human life presence. I have added descriptions to the images as to know where they are located just in case you want to explore the place yourself someday. Some location details were unavailable to me so you must contact the photographer through the link i have provided.

This topic consists of over 80 beautiful urban decay photography images just for your inspiration. I will keep digging this article and add some new images of urban decay photography so stay tuned for more updates.

What do you get when you spend a little over 6 hours (with permission from the building’s owner) in an abandoned theatre, a camera, good friends, and a passion for photography? You get lots of photos!

I like the colours in your other shot, this one looks a touch washed out, over exposed a little maybe.

“The DECLINE BELLA” / “La BELLA DECADENCIA”

Juan PIXELECTA
This house no longer exists in ruins. It was my next door in front of my house in Cervera de Pisuerga, and before I got this photograph collapsed. I wanted to somehow artistic editing with selective toning and applying noise to accentuate the decline to ensure that was beautiful.
