ABANDONMENT

Abandonment explores industrial decay and adaptive reuse, centered on sites like Hamilton's historic Cotton Factory. These black and white fine art photographs find beauty in decline; smokestacks, faded signage, and brick corridors that once powered a manufacturing economy and now anchor a creative community instead. The series sits at the intersection of urbex and fine art photography, appealing to collectors drawn to deindustrialization, Rust Belt history, and stories of reinvention.

An award winning photographer, Richard Collens is a lifelong artist and photographer, with a desire for adventure, road trips and finding the beauty in nature and in otherwise mundane surroundings.
