An idea that has been evolving throughout my film photography journey is capturing places and spaces that have been left behind. I’ve always been fascinated by photographing abandoned or empty buildings, and over the course of my photography it has evolved from being very literal into something more nuanced (that’s not to say I don’t get super excited about abandoned buildings, because I definitely do).

Working on this project has taught me a few things. To begin with, learning to find the places I’m looking for in populated areas has been difficult; due to their nature, they’re very easily missed and ignored. By a similar token, learning to understand the purpose and the “why” behind what I’m photographing has really changed my mindset. It has also taught me to be a lot more intentional about the things that I photograph.

A word I return to often is “empty,” because I feel like it describes the subjects of my work in both a literal/physical and metaphorical/emotional sense. It describes both the physical state of my subjects and the feeling I get from them. There’s often a somewhat eerie atmosphere that comes along with my photos, and in a strange way that’s a huge part of the intrigue for me.

I’ve had numerous conversations with people about finding my locations—how I find them and what I look for. On top of this, there have also been conversations about what we, as a society, leave behind and what determines if or when we choose to rebuild or repurpose something.

I’ve always been quite inspired by @50_shades_of_jason. I love how honest he is about his work and his process. I feel like so much of what we see online is just the highlight reel, and we need reminders that sometimes things don’t work out the way we expect—and that’s not always a bad thing. I’m also a huge fan of his style, and obviously, being a film photographer myself, I take a lot of inspiration from others who shoot in the same medium.

Stood here for ages waiting for the sun to come back, naturally as soon as I gave up and took the shot anyway, the sun came back…
