Forgotten Places Photography

Our lens is more than a tool; it is a witness to the resilience of the forgotten. After twenty years of navigating the space between the shadows and the light, we have learned that every structure and landscape holds a story waiting to be told. Our photography explores the intersection of history and atmosphere, capturing the profound beauty found in the world’s quietest corners.

From the haunting stillness of Abandoned Places that echo with lives once lived, to the hallowed grounds of Historical Sites that anchor our community’s legacy, we document the traces of the past with reverence. Beyond the structures, we seek the Breathtaking Landscapes that remind us of the enduring peace found in the natural world. Whether through the decay of a forgotten home or the glow of a Tennessee sunset, our work is a visual testimony to the light that remains.

    Abandoned Places

    Step inside the forgotten. From crumbling schools to weathered churches and homes lost to time, these places carry the echoes of those who once walked their halls. Some are rumored to be haunted. Others just feel like they remember. Our lens captures the stillness, the stories, and the sacred silence left behind.
