    Scouting photoshoot locations [PICS]

    Once again we were out and about looking for new locations to use for photoshoots.

    Today we checked out two separate abandoned psychiatric hospitals including a 100-yr-old abandoned mental facility, consisting of a few dozen separate buildings all linked underground by steam tunnels. Took a few background shots to get an idea of how the place looks.

    Rather creepy - in the past it was home to violent mental patients...and the place has a long history of hauntings (if you believe that stuff). We explored all the ancient steam tunnels, visited the morgue in the basement of one building...and checked out the powerstation building.

    A few shots:

            Google "urban exploration" - there's a lot of sites out there catering to exploring old abandonments all over the place.

            But I also spend time driving around looking for places myself, and I have a network of buddies we share good locations with. Quite often I'm among the first people (in southern Ontario) to check out a location shortly after it becomes abandoned or derelict.

                    Much appreciate the generous compliments. I'm humbled.

                    Some folks get all excited when a new stripclub opens down the street from their house. I get all giddy when I hear about a hospital or old factory closing somewhere locally.

                        Looks that way, but its just the timing of the shot. She actually loves explorin' abandonments. I gave her my old P&S digital cam and she had a blast takin' her own pics all afternoon.

                        She's a very gifted artist, and looks at old places from an artistic perspective.

                            Some places yes, some not. That psych hospital is wide open, no security patrols and the owner doesn't live in the same city.

                            A few of the places we go are risky, though. But trespassing is only a $100 ticket max. - just a misdemeanor. I'd just write it off as a business expense.

                                        Did you buy that place or are you just "shooting" there?

                                          From what I hear, Detroit's a real mecca for urban exploration and photography - a LOT of abandonments in the area.

                                          Just across the river from you in Windsor is a hospital that closed a short while back - Grace Deux. It was an awesome location for a shoot until they boarded it up solid.

                                          As for security guards, quite often I'll social engineer my way in to a place if I'm really ambitious to get pics. Sometimes a cordial chat with a guard will get me inside for a short while if I play my cards right.

                                            Just shooting there.

                                            We lease a 30k sq. ft. old factory/warehouse during the summer months to use as studio space, though. 100-years old and really decrepit inside...it looks great in pics.

                                                                there's a website out there dedicated to photography of old abandoned mental institutions - creepy and powerful - 'if these walls could talk' or scream!

                                                                really nice stuff - quantum-x also shoots abandoned plants and factories.

                                                                                Just across the river from you in Windsor is a hospital that closed a short while back - Grace Deux. It was an awesome location for a shoot until they boarded it up solid.

                                                                                As for security guards, quite often I'll social engineer my way in to a place if I'm really ambitious to get pics. Sometimes a cordial chat with a guard will get me inside for a short while if I play my cards right.

                                                                                Oh ok, well why dont you head over here some time and we will go get some pics, how far are you from the windsor Tunnel? maybe we can setup a exploration around the area

                                                                                              But I also spend time driving around looking for places myself, and I have a network of buddies we share good locations with. Quite often I'm among the first people (in southern Ontario) to check out a location shortly after it becomes abandoned or derelict.

                                                                                                    Not really. I always have my camera gear and tripods with me, and cops are generally cool with photography. Usually I make the initiative to walk over and talk with cops if they're in the area - best defense is a good offense I always say. Show them you've got nothing to hide and that you're just there takin' a few pics.

                                                                                                    Generally if you don't look like a punk kid with a spray can and crowbar, police aren't a hassle. They're mostly concerned with vandals and kids looking to trash the place.

                                                                                                    Helps to have a good gift of gab. I can usually talk my way out of any predicament. I've even had two cops ask for business cards, lol.
