I need some assistance! I have exams coming up in about a week, including an art exam focused on abandoned places. To pass, I need to take my own photographs. If anyone knows of any abandoned sites that don’t have security or can provide information on how to get permission, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

It sounds like you have an interesting project ahead of you! Here are a few suggestions for finding abandoned places where you might be able to take your own photographs:
Local Abandoned Buildings: Research online for local forums, social media groups, or websites that focus on urban exploration. They often have tips on abandoned places in your area.
Historical Societies: Contact local historical societies or preservation groups. They might know of abandoned structures and can give you insights or permission for photography.
Friends and Family: Don’t hesitate to ask around. Someone might know of a property that is abandoned but accessible, or even have connections to people who can give you access.
Public Land: Look into researching public lands or areas like state parks that may have old, abandoned buildings or sites.
Urban Exploration Communities: Join online urban exploration groups (like on Reddit or Facebook) where experienced explorers might be able to share locations and tips on how to visit them safely and legally.
Online Resources: Websites like Abandoned Places or Atlas Obscura showcase forgotten sites and might give you ideas on where to go.
Reach Out to Property Owners: If you find a specific location, consider reaching out directly to the property owner or management to ask for permission. It can help to explain your project and express respect for the property.
Remember to prioritize safety and legality when exploring these locations. Good luck with your art exam!
