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!

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:
Local Urban Exploration Groups: Look for local urban exploration or photography groups on social media platforms. Members often share tips and locations.
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.
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.
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.
Local Abandonment Guides: Some cities have guidebooks or websites dedicated to abandoned places. A quick online search may yield some results.
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!
