Welcome to my shop! I love to explore abandoned buildings and ruins, and try to document them as well as I can. Most of these places have a long history, but are left to rot usually due to the cost of asbestos, lead, etc. cleanup. I find them beautiful, and I love to see nature taking over these places. Exploring a place is always exciting and is something I enjoy very much. I see things that most people never will, so I hope with my photography that I can share some of these things with you.
Lately I have been expanding into the beauty of nature, and some of the fantasy images I see in my mind as well, and hope you enjoy these photographs also.

All my photos are printed by a professional photo lab on high quality archival Kodak e-paper. These are not inkjet prints done at home. Please allow time for processing. They will normally be sent out within a week, but may take up to two weeks. All photos are available in a variety of sizes - just convo me. Metallic prints are also available.

Returns and exchange details

Photos are ordered from a professional photo lab and sent to me. I inspect all photos before shipping them to you. However, if there is something wrong with your photo, please contact me immediately and we can work it out.

Additional policies and FAQs

My work is a labor of love. I adore what I do, but it can be difficult and dangerous. Many of these abandoned places are full of asbestos, mold, rotting floors and squatters. I don't recommend urban exploration for the inexperienced.

Because my prints are done in a lab, I cannot take returns unless your print arrives damaged. However, I want you to love your new artwork, so if there is an issue please do let me know and I'll do my best to correct it. I want you to love your new artwork!

I have many more photos not listed! If you are looking for something in particular, please feel free to convo me. Please join my facebook fanpage at http://www.facebook.com/ForgottenBeauty. I often post works in progress and the occasional coupon code.
