Sven Fennema - Urban Decay



Sven Fennema a German photographer looks at decay in places, mostly architectural spaces. much of his work looks at buildings and spaces that had history such as old theatres,hospitals, castles and churches form all over the world. 
Fennema's work is captivating, there is almost a feeling of fantasy to the images, the lighting gives a warm feel to some of the images, as well as cold in others. 
What is so special about decay and photography is that there is a dialogue between photographer and the subject weather that is a car tangled by nature or a building whithering away. The idea of this dialogue is that you can feel the past echoing all around you when you are in the spaces, if the image is good that the view should have the very same feelings of past echoing of the people that inhabited these spaces.
