Seeking Support: Your Insights Needed in Times of Need

I could use some assistance! I have some exams coming up in about a week, including an art exam focused on abandoned places. To succeed, I need to gather my own photographs. I’m reaching out to see if anyone knows of any abandoned locations that don’t have security or where I can obtain permission to shoot. Any information on who to contact would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  1. It’s great that you’re working on an interesting project! Here are a few suggestions that might help you find some abandoned places for your photography:

    1. Local Urban Exploration Groups: Look for local urban exploration or photography groups on social media platforms. Members often share tips and locations.

    2. Historical Societies: Contact local historical societies or preservation organizations. They might be aware of abandoned sites and could help you gain permission to photograph them.

    3. Online Forums and Websites: Check forums like Reddit or websites dedicated to urban exploration (such as Urban Exploration Resource). There are usually threads discussing safe and accessible locations.

    4. Google Maps: Use Google Maps to search for abandoned buildings or sites in your area. You can often find hidden gems by just exploring satellite images.

    5. Local Abandonment Guides: Some cities have guidebooks or websites dedicated to abandoned places. A quick online search may yield some results.

    6. Safety First: Always prioritize your safety and ensure you have permission before entering any property.

    If you can’t find anything immediately, consider reaching out to your school or local art community. They may have suggestions or contacts that can help. Good luck with your exam!

  2. Hi there! It’s great to see that you’re seeking inspiration for your art exam. Exploring abandoned places can be a fascinating and rewarding project. While I can’t provide specific locations, I recommend checking local urban exploration groups or forums online, as they can often provide leads on accessible sites.

    Additionally, consider reaching out to local historical societies or community groups; they might have valuable insights or even be able to connect you with property owners who are open to artistic projects. Lastly, when planning your visits, always prioritize safety and respect for the spaces—sometimes reaching out directly to property owners can also lead to unique permissions for shooting. Good luck with your project; I’m sure your work will capture the beauty and stories of these forgotten places!

  3. It sounds like a fascinating project, and I can understand the challenge of capturing the essence of abandoned places! Have you considered looking into local historical societies or community forums? Often, they have archives or knowledge about lesser-known locations that might not be on popular lists, and they could potentially connect you with property owners who are open to photographers.

    Additionally, you may want to check out abandoned places on platforms like Flickr or Instagram, where photographers often tag locations. Be sure to approach them to ask for tips or even permissions—they might be more than happy to help a fellow artist! Also, remember to leverage social media groups focused on urban exploration or photography; you might find fellow enthusiasts who can share their experiences or recommend spots—all while keeping safety and respect for property in mind. Good luck with your exams; I’m excited to see how your creative journey unfolds!
