Location Project - Initial ideas - Research

The theme i have chosen to do for my location shoot is Urban Decay: A retrospective look on the uses of buildings then And now. I have chosen this because the topic interests me greatly and i believe that these images would be aesthetically pleasing to the public.

Mathew Merrett is a fine art photographer whose passion lies with urban decay photography. Here are a few of his images:
