Abandoned Photography: the eyesore on the corner, the creepy abandoned places you pass on the back-roads, these are the abandoned buildings with the boarded up windows.
To most people not into abandoned photography, abandoned buildings are just an ugly passing sight on a drive with little to no thought or consideration given. But have you ever wondered what it looks like inside these abandoned places?
Abandoned Buildings come in all shapes, sizes and styles. To me all abandoned photography helps tell a different story, whether you make that story up in your own head or if  you piece all the parts of a story together.  Maybe the story is right there in front of you, all abandoned buildings have a history.
My hope is that my abandoned photography will help to tell these stories.
Something most people also don’t notice, or wouldn’t know of is the beauty in the decay of an abandoned building. Behind those boarded up doors and windows of these abandoned houses are winding staircases, furniture, decorative fixtures. The many years of multiple layers of paint, when decay sets in each layer peels away, unveiling a kaleidoscope of colours and it all makes for amazing abandoned photography.
These photos don’t usually need much post-processing: you can shoot in raw and use araw image convertor after to make small adjustments and reveal the true beauty of abandoned photography to the maximum.
Wallpaper, years of wallpaper peeling away that reveals two, three, four, five layers of wallpaper. What I’ve come to admire about the abandoned house is what I call the pieces of life left behind, the mystery of what caused this home or business, once full of life to become dark and vacant. Many abandoned houses are completely empty, some still hold a few hints of the lives lived many years ago and some, for whatever reason still hold almost all of the relics and trinkets and pieces of everyday life.
Below is an ongoing gallery of some of my favorite abandoned photography from my explores of abandoned and derelict places all over Ontario, New York State, Michigan State and beyond. Â To the right of the page is a menu where you can take a visual tour of the many abandoned places I have photographed.

Hands down the best location we visited on our recent road trip, RiddimRyder and I arrived at this abandoned cathedral at around 1am after a very long drive.
We checked the place out and decided to abort our plan to sleep inside the church as there was nothing to support the weight of us and our hammocks. We woke up very early after only a couple of hours of sleep, made our entrance in the light and spent a solid two hours exploring and shooting this unbelievable location.
I love the colous in this room and the few simple things left behind. Stay tuned for so much more from this incredible abandoned cathedral.

****Warning – Sensitive Subject Matter******

Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye”
Inside the prep room where the deceased were embalmed and dressed up for their viewing. On the top left you can see the embalming equipment, you also see body bags on the shelf.

The great ting about going deep into the rural areas to seek abandonments is that when you find them, they haven’t been vandalized because there is hardly anyone around to do so.
Such is the case with this pristine small abandoned church aloing the deep backroads of Ontario.

As a rule in life, I try to not overthink things, keep things simple and easy. Except for when it comes to my daily photo post selection.
I spend far too much time looking through galleries, picing out favourites or trying to keep my posts relevant with my latest and most recent explore.
The problem with doing that is I leave alot of stuff behind, or stuff never gets posted because it’s not an amazing location, or I went out and found some amazing spot and I get excited and want to share.
For the rest of the week, I’m going to try and post some B-Sides, keep things simple and easy!!!
Here is a plain scene in an equally plan location from a road trip a while back.

Here is a B-side from an abandoned high school in Stoney Creek Ontario, I believe it’s now been fully demolished…and if it’s not fully gone yet, who cares the place is a disaster!
I was here back in the winter but only poted one photo from the audiorium, because it was the most interesting part of the building to me at the time.

“Fall Paper”
Wallpaper falling from the walls and ceiling in a small room in an abandoned house in Ontario, Canada.
You can see a full video walk-through of this whole house on my YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piZedTV9X10

There is no telling how much longer this house will be standing upright.
This entire wall has fallen and crumbled to the ground exposing two rooms and a hallway. You can see the window on the right ride showing how the house is shifting.
As great as it is to shoot an old abandoned home full of contents, it’s just as satisfying to shoot and explore an empty old house such as this one!

“To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then Hell call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever I’ll share”
A small bedroom in an old abandoned house that was full of surprises.
An obviously religious family, with crosses in every room, religious trinkets and documents scattered all over the house.
You can see a complete video walkthrough of this abandoned house on my YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWQURrcX3P4
Also see mobile shots and more at www.instagram.com/freaktography
In this old abandoned house, filled with crosses and furniture and beds and wallpaper it wa hard to get a good clean shot wity straight lines.
For one thing, the rooms were small, if I fixed this shot in post to make it straight you would lose half the scene to cropping. So I had to leave the lens distortion in the pic.
The house was also crooked so even if I could line things up, it would still be off!
So here you get a raw uncropped and distorted scene, besides it’s not alwaya about a great shot – it’s about the experience and bringing it to those who are interested!
This tiny bedroom in an abandoned ontario house had so much to offer an of interest.For starters, the hole in the roof made for an indoor wintery scene as when I started shooting this room large flakes of snow started falling from outside into the room onto the pile below the window.Next, the crumbling drywall on the left and peeling pain on the right.But what I found most interesting was that the wall on the left had at one time been entirely covered with wallpaper that strepped off over time, all but one small square that was covering something, when I pulled off the small strip it was blanketing the metal cross above the bed.You can see a quick and poorly shot video walkthrough of this whole house on my youtube page athttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWQURrcX3P4Finally, if you are interested in a ree 8×10 print of one of my photos you can enter you name at this link: https://www.facebook.com/Freaktography/posts/1076211009174210:0

That RiddimRyder, he can be pretty damn clumsy sometimes. You would think that he would know in a post apocalyptic world that he should be a bit more careful.
We were out scavenging for food and running from rabid dogs when his big clunky boots got caught on barbed wire. It’s a good thing Freaktography has a medical background and also knows how to tap into the power grid to make X-Ray machines work.
He shattered his tibia and his fibula, mangled his patella and had a very bad crack running the length of his femur.
It’s safe to say that his exploring career is over and I’ll have to do all heavy lifting when it comes to scavenging
Don’t bother checking our RiddimRyders instagram https://www.instagram.com/riddim_ryder/ or Facebook page because he’s now retired.

This photo was taken in an abandoned house that a page follower sent me recently. It’s a large historic property and it was full of surprises.
The home had, what seemed to be secret and hiden rooms when really is was just a large house separated into three living units. One side was only accessible if you wentr in the basement and found the mysterious staircase.
The highlight of the house however, was this foyer with the staircase and floor, I spent most of my time here shooting the stairs!
More to come from this location.
Last night I posted a video and many requested that I post more video walk-throughs, you can subscribe to my YouTube page to see my existing videos and get notified when I post new ones.

This foyer in this abandoned house was pitch black except a small amount of light from a red stained glass window. that is above a door behind me.
Placing a flashlight on the staircase and one in the room to the right provided the perfect amount of light for this long exposure photograph.
This house was put up for heritage status, potentially saving it from demolition but sadly the request was denied and soon this beautiful of stone home will be demolished for a new subdivision.

This old abandoned house just off a main road in a rural Ontario town seems to be being preserved for possible reuse once the new development on the property is built.
The home still had power, which is always werid, but also can make for some nice photo ideas.

Sadly, it was empty and nothing interesting was found inside.

Driving while exploring can be a very dangerous thing to do, especially when you’re driving with a friend. You’re both chatting and shooting the shit while scanning to the left or right while looking for other abandoned places.
While driving between locations on an exploring road trip with RiddimRyder we did just that, luckily we only had a few close calls but no accidents! This scanning for bew abandoned places while driving resulted in a number of unexpected finds, such as this one.
A small abandoned house about 100 feet from the road that would have been entirely unseen in the summer.
RiddimRyder got a great shot of the exterior, you can see it here on his page, you can also see the exact same shot, since we both shot the exact same scene haha!

The latest in my ongoing The Huffington Post Canada Blog series was published yesterday My blog posts document the many abandoned houses left behind all across Ontario, Canada.
This one contains a brand new selection of the derelict and abandoned houses I’ve visited and photographed in my travels around the province and some of my thoughts on why there are so many abandoned houses in the province.

This was a fun explore as the walk in was long and i was eaten alive by bugs. i had no insights on access or what might greet me when get there as a part of this site is still being used.
I made my in after keeping out of sight from the maintenance workers cutting the grass, once inside I was shooting in the tunnels only to hear the voices of two men in a maintenance room in the room beside where I was shooting.
They eventually left and I continued shooting the vacant parts of the property.

Along a busy street in a southern ontario city sits this sad and unfortunate abandoned heritage home that was once the main home on a large farm.

The city has built condos and townhomes on what used to be the farm fields and after the owners passed away a number of years ago the homes condition has rapidly declined.

I was able to get inside before any damage or vandalism started but at this point the house is losing the battle against constant vandalism.

This is another one of those homes where the land is still actively used but the home just sits there, falling apart.
One of many locations visited on a huge exploring road trip. This house ended up being the surprise top location of the weekend.
This kitchen has been destroyed by elements and time, food in the cupboards, dishes in the sink and stuff just everywhere!
In the basement, I made the stupid mistake of opening the freezer – breaking a well known rule of exploring abandoned houses. The bottom of the freezer was a thick liquidy mess of rotten food with a stench that very quickly took over the whole house, it was nauseating.
Much more to come from many of the locatioins we visited, I even struggkled with which photo and location to start with today!

Every one of the wedding photos you see here was buried under debris and clothes and riff raff inside the bathroom of this abandoned house.
Not only these photos in the frames but also dozens upon dozens of unframed photos from other weddings.
Another day in another post I will share with you the oldest photo album I have ever found in an old abandoned house.
This house didn’t have the creepy factor that other abandoned houses have but it certainly was mysterious and baffling as to why all this stuff was left behind.

Tucked away off an Ontario backroad, somewhat hiddien by bushes, trees and overgrowth sits the remains of an old game show television set.
At this point, literally everyone and their mom has been here, and I mean that because I’ve seen pictures taken here by someones mom.
I hated this place before I even set foot on the property, I really didn’t care to go here but RiddimRyder and I were in the area so we decided we may as well check it out. Now – most people probably park right up front and jump the front gate and risk being seen, RiddimRyder and I took the long way in through a pain in the ass forest – in the rain. Me, ultimately losing my sense of direction and getting lost in this stupid forest to this stupid location made up of brightly coloured foam with its dumb water cannons and moats and barbed wire fence.
I hate this place for so many reasons!
For this photo I had to be super fast as you can see there is a house on the right hand side.
I’ll post more shots from this stupid place over time.

If there is one thing I am missing this year it’s a good industrial explore. I may not be looking hard enough, or I’m looking in the wrong places, but I’ve yet to see a good industrial location this year.
This one came to me earlier this year by my friend Urbex Carlo, he took RiddimRyder and I on a late night visit to this old abandoned factory. It was too dark to shoot so we went back a week or so later bright and early.
This location had lots of scenes like this one with great light and shadows, a few of my favourite shots I’ve taken this year came out of this location…I think this might be another favourite!

Here’s the Church
Here’s the Steeple
But Where are all the people??
A well kept,unvandalized and undecayed abandoned church found deep in rural Ontario.
The Holy Ghosts must come out at night with their swiffers and their dusterbusters because this place is in amazing condition!!!
This is just one of about half a dozen abandoned churches discovered this year alone!

When you travel backroads anywhere in rural areas of your state or province you are eventually going to find something.
It was doing just that recently when I found the chapel that I stumbled upon this past weekend. It was also by doing just that when RiddimRyder recently discovered an amazing abandoned church, and around the corner from that church along another old rural Ontario backroad you will find yet another gem of a find, this old abandoned schoolhouse.
Walking into this old schoolhouse you can smell the history, imagining the sounds of kids feet on the hardwood floor, the sounds of the chairs dragging at recess time, or the sound of that old piano at the front of the class.
On the wall, at the front above the chalkboard are photos of Queen Victoria, King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, Sir John A. MacDonald and Sir Wilfred Laurier (The first and the seventh Prime Ministers of Canada, respectively)
There wasn’t a whole lot to see or photograph in this old schoolhouse, but it was still a unique and historic find nonetheless!

Just a shelf in a pink bedroom in an abandoned house somewhere in Ontario.
An unused and vacant church found along a rural Ontario back road. The church is in exceptional condition for it’s age, which could have something to do with the roof, I also believe that someone checks in every so often and cleans up.
Here is a link to view a short video I took of the interior of this location:

An old unused and vacant church in Ontario, Canada. While this church seems to have not been in service since the mid 1980’s, someone is clearly still keeping the place in tip top condition as there was not a kint of damage or decay, just lots and lots of mouse droppings!

Inside this large abandoned bowling alley we found these perfectly good pool tables and snooker tables.
With all the black mold and water damage in this facility, it is possible that these are no longer any good for use or re-sale.

From a road trip in the winter of 2016, this mid century decorated house was full of cool and interesting things in every room.
We found that we were spending more time just looking at all the things left behind than we did actually taking photos of them!
Did you know that I post a new exploring video to my YouTube page every week?

This past weekend RiddimRyder and I took our longest and furthest road trip yet. We set out with a long list and we covered a lot of ground.
This may have been one of my favourite spots we explored. You would never know it by this photo but the other end of this building was coated in black mold and some of the thickest air I have ever breathed.
Then we enter a door into this wing and we are greeted by this amazing sight!!

From a visit many months back to a vacant hospital. When I first visited this hospital the power was still on in every room and every hallway.
It made for a very unnerving explore especialy with so many noises and beeps and blips coming from all areas.
I recently went back for another round with this abandoned hospital to find that the power has now been cut and the hallways are much quieter , and this autopsy room was actually much better in the dark.
I am hoping to have a full video from this location to post this week but in the meantime, hwere is a small gallery from my first visit.

“Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she’s in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand.”
I waited and waited and waited for the moment that the sun would come out from the clouds and shine light down this opening in the roof of the Poorhouse, and my Tiny Dancer knew just what to do as soon as it happened!

Beauty in Decay
From the outside this abandoned church didn’t look like much, but as soon as we walked inside we were blown away by the smell of the thick humid air and the amount of decay on the walls.
The natural light in here was amazing, made even better by the many small square multi coloured skylights.

This is by far the best abandoned church I have ever been inside.
You can’t see it here, but there is substantial damage to the inside of the structure and there are large cracks n the floor.
Here I am standing at the highest point of the cathedral between the organ pipes.

One of the most unique exteriors of an abandoned house that I have ever seen.
With an active house right across the street the house is under a watchful eye.
We spoke to the people who live across the road and they told us this house has been robbed of its contents five times in recent months.

The upstairs hallway of a surprisingly good abandoned house in Ontario, Canada.
This house has been ransacked and picked through by many over the years, yet it still holds a great deal of interesting, unique and possibly valuable items.
I have lots to share from the rest of this house at some point.

This explore is from an old untouched abandoned house with nearly everything left behind like the owners just walked away.
Not quite a time capsule house but close enough, this old abandoned house was full of old items, old toys, games and furniture. In the living room, I found a chest full of old stereo equipment fully preserved.

An odd sight in this abandoned house with five televisions stacked upon eachother.
This house is a perfect example of what happens when there is no one left who cares enough to pick up the pieces and clean up after the death of loved ones or family members.

I can’t wait to dig in and show you all the phros from this amazing abandoned church I explored on a recent road trip. I have so much to get through it’s hard to decide which explores to focus on.
If you want to see more from here go see RiddimRyders page as he’s been posting lots of great stuff from here!
And if you haven’t see it yet, here is my latest video from a huge abandoned mansion!

I am so intrigued by what you do. Especially the old abandoned homes. Do you ever get the stories of why they were left like that? I can’t imagine why people would leave all of their belongings behind. Keep up the good work!

Amazing

Absolutely amazing and I would love to experience this like you do! You Rock!

I’d love to know the stories behind each place. So interesting

Absolutely love your work. Love following you on FB to see which cool new places you explore each week. I love how each one of your pictures tells a story and how each one sucks you in like you are standing there at that moment. Keep up the awesomeness!
I love your photography so much. It’s really beautiful and interesting and so inspiring to me as well. I’m curious as to how you find out about places. I live in the UK and would love to explore abandoned houses & buildings here and take photographs, as I feel like this would make me so fulfilled, but I have no clue how to find places. Do you drive around, … or is there some search method you use? Anyway, your photos are beautiful, absolutely beautifully shot – the composition, lighting, everything. You really bring out the beauty in these places – thank you!
Hi – I would love to invite you to participate in my Violated Metropolis exhibition in New Orleans. I am posting the link to the art call in the website below.
