abandoned factory I (Patreon)

Alas, we come to @ohseephotography and I's amazing Asheville trip. The first place we shot with successfully while exploring all around the backroads on the deep NC mountains, was this magical abandoned factory. We shot as many sets here as we could manage, without getting greedy of course. You can never be greedy with urbex shoots. Sadly, the small town this factory building was in was absolutely destroyed by Hurricane Helene in Sept 2024, not even a full year after we had been, meaning there's no doubt in my mind that this factory is gone, or nearly gone. So much devastation and heartbreak from that hurricane, my heart broke in pieces for Asheville and all the surrounding areas affected. Asheville has meant a lot to me for many years.

I'm so grateful for the sets we took in this epic old factory, left behind to rot away. I feel like we gave the space one last breath of life before it was gone. @ohseephotography ended up editing this particular set in b&w, a rare occurring editing style of our work together for sure. He has quite the eye, I think it does wonderfully here and mixes in some variety compared to the other sets we shot in here.
