inhabiting the derelict

In the portraiture series ”Inhabiting the Derelict” I photographed children in an abandoned house that was soon to be torn down to make way for a modern home. I was interested here in getting a sense of inhabiting that space and feeling it’s history.

Their expressions are serious, intent on playing and exploring that dank spot, it feels like they are haunted by visages of the past, but they look directly into the camera, frankly and without guile.
