Lost America

Abandoned places transformed into theatre sets with intense colours.

And it’s not just a mountain of eye candy — the photographer, Troy Paiva, gives info on how he achieved each effect. (He has been photographing scrapyards and abandoned places for 20 years).

He often exposes for two minutes and uses coloured strobe flashes.


In some cases I found myself looking at what appeared to be an ancient wonder but was really quite an unexceptional building — dramatically dressed by exceptional lighting and an eye for theatrics.

Wonderful stuff!
