44 Photographs of Collapse and Urban Decay

Powerful photography is able to invoke emotions like nothing else. Designers are especially affected by these and should take note of inspirational connections. If you’re a fan of urban and city lifestyles then urban decay is a fabulous category of photographs.

Like never before we have a society with older buildings and even more ancient histories. The heritage of our human race has carried on for thousands of years. Yet our evolution as a society has led us to the current state of affairs worldwide. Urban decay photography focuses on the collapsing morals of our societal fiber.
