Urban decay pho­tog­ra­phy is the sub­ject of doc­u­ment­ing and cap­tur­ing pho­tographs of old struc­tures, aban­doned build­ings and decay­ing ruins of large cities and urban envi­ron­ments. The tex­tures avail­able to a pho­tog­ra­pher in urban envi­ron­ments are almost lim­it­less, and the con­trast of empty space to the gritty, decay­ing feel is quite breathtaking.

In this post, you’ll find some breath­tak­ing urban decay pho­tographs from some tal­ented pho­tog­ra­phers around the globe. From aban­doned rail­ways to crum­bling build­ings, ancient churches and over­grown doctor’s offices, this col­lec­tion will leave you amazed.
