Art Supply Warehouse

Here are some shots that I took in an abandoned art supply warehouse a few weeks ago. All of the shots are self-developed. Let me know what you think!

Aw thank you, that's sweet! Glad to see you made it home OK, and I hope the posts are at a manageable level now.

They are scans of the medium format negatives.

And thank you for viewing and commenting everyone!

Very cool! I have never used medium format, but seeing Shizzy in action twice now it's tempting.

So this place looks pretty cleaned out! That is a kind of a shame, but then again warehouses generally never have much in the way of furniture, architecture or relics in the first place. I think that in such cases, showcasing the play of light on dark - specifically where light comes in through structural decay - is the most powerful thing you can do. I definitely see this in your shots.

Very nice work. It's just an old warehouse but it has feeling and character to it. I'd love to get someone in there and shoot some portraits there. I can just see someone sitting on the ground against the wall in the first shot.

Thanks everybody!

Lots of people actually use this place for individual and band portraits (it's nice because it's secluded and you can take all the time you need). I think I have some shots of a band from there, if I can dig them up I'll post them later.

Awesome. I'd like to see them.
