I thought it would be important to continue on my trend of illustrating the pictures I’ve done in a location followed sadly by the loss of said location to show that so many of these abandonments blossom only to be demolished.

Speaking to the Kennesaw Abandonment and the location I spoke of previously as the Kennesaw Mountain Abandonment, this home really was relatively new to the abandonment scene. While, I can’t say for certain and I’m only using my skills of observation to determine it, this house couldn’t have been more then 3 to 6 years old. Scrappers obviously had their way with the home (most of the fixtures, pipes, & wire was ripped out of the house) but the overall structure was something you might have seen in any new development in Kennesaw.

It looked as though it would have been a lovely home if it hadn’t been for a truly horrible location. The driveway wasn’t really finished nor did it look as though it was ever finished and across the street was a power station. So… if you don’t mind glowing in the dark and having to have a 4 wheel drive to park at your house, it was definitely a home for you.

With all those things aside though, here’s a gallery of the images I was able to create in this amazing location.

And if you’d like to take a deeper dive into the articles associated with the pictures above.

I’d like to conclude this article with more shots of this lovely house that is no more. I always feel a little regret when dealing with places like this. I always hate to see them go, but it does make me work harder to take advantage of places that aren’t lost to the world.

As with all images on my site, should you have any questions, comments or would like a print of any image displayed please feel free to Contact Me directly.

As with the last couple of posts on my site with Dahlia and Jordan, this shoot was at that nice little abandonment I discovered in Kennesaw.

Meisha contacted me through Model Mayhem looking to do something different then the standard portraits she had in her portfolio. I offered for her to review my inspiration gallery and from that we were able to narrow our focus. With that in mind, we met one weekend and set off to take advantage of this lovely location. I will take a moment to say, I’ve posted these articles totally in the wrong sequence. Technically speaking, I shot Lindsay, then Meisha, then Dahlia and last Jordan.








Take a look at some of these fantastic shots we were able to do!

I’ve found that once you discover an interesting location like an abandoned house, You have to do as much as you can to take advantage of it while it lasts. After loosing the one location I mentioned before, I vowed to myself that I wouldn’t let any other opportunities go by the wayside.

It was early last year that I was contacted with the concept of doing a “Doll” themed shoot. I immediately jumped at the idea thinking that would be perfect to incorporate into my models in abandonments series. Dahlia really didn’t disappoint in the slightest with wardrobe, hair, or make-up. Her looks smacks so perfectly of a vintage aesthetic that the pictures nearly shot themselves as we went through the abandoned location.








And now a few words from Ms. Dahlia Danger.

This photoshoot was the first time i had ever worked with Matt of Dim Horizons Studio before. We met up at a easy access location right near the abandoned house. We talked a while and Matt made me feel very comfortable, almost like it was just me and a friend doing a photo shoot, now because we were in a nasty old abandoned house Matt made sure i was comfortable and safe the whole time. (which is very cool) we joked around and like i said it was a very comfortable environment. Matt also let me do what ever pose that came in mind and that was great made me feel more involved with his work. i would definitely work with Matt again.

Take a look at some of these fantastic shots we were able to do!

If you’d like to see more of this lovely dolls work, I’d highly suggest you check out her Model Mayhem page and definitely schedule some time with her if you are so inclined!

Well… It’s really been awhile since I’ve written about the lovely Jordan on the site. With that said, I’ve actually worked with her a great deal over the course of 2009 and only now have just begun to get these articles written to show case her tremendous creative growth.

If you’ve really paid close attention to my site, you might recognize the location. I actually “discovered” or more accurately “used for the first time” this location on the day of my Alice in Wonderland inspired shoot with Lindsay. It wasn’t quite as lovely a find as the location mentioned in my last post but to continue with my project of models in abandonments, it was suitable enough.











Here’s a little showcase of my work with Jordan that the abandoned house location. We had a mixture of wardrobe options on this day long extravaganza but ultimately she decided upon something with a little country flair with this location/shoot and I must say it worked quite well.
