The branch of photography that particularly deals with the capturing shots of abandoned and desolate buildings which are normally not taken care of is called Urban Decay Photography. This particular field of photography is gaining huge popularity as it brings the beauty of the more abandoned buildings to the surface.
Let’s have a look at this amazing compilation of 50 extraordinary shots of urban decay emphasizing their smashed and destroyed look. Enjoy!

Just wow, some of these photos are amazing! I need to find the time to sit down with my SLR and actually take advantage of it.
Finding a decent scene is always the trickiest bit though I wonder how these photographers found some of these areas exploring abandoned warehouse’s etc would be a good start.
enough with the hdr.
it ruins what would be great pictures
These photos are so wonderful. They just make me imagine I’m there now, and in the glory days. So sad that places aren’t maintained that have so much beauty. They just don’t make things like they used to.
who took these?
This is hilarious/nauseating every single one ruined with HDR, this isn’t photography. If they were shot on film you wouldn’t feel so compelled to ruin them with composited bracketed exposures as the exposure latitude is larger on film. I wish people had some subtlety about them when it comes to this kind of photography.
What I find beautiful about these images is the light, the clarity, and the depth. There is dust, dirt, decay, and drama. Excellent. Thank you.
So much HDR it hurts my eyes. When will this trend come to an end?
