居住在布鲁克林的 Will Ellis 是一名喜好探险的摄影师，喜欢在纽约城中不断地冒险，与此同时也捕捉到许多在这繁华城市中被遗忘的角落，并展示在他的网站 Abandoned NYC 上。他拍摄的作品中包含许多令人毛骨悚然的场景，美丽的外观下藏著一个个破旧冷清被腐蚀的空间。「我迷恋上这样的视觉效果，还记得当我还小的时候就喜欢诡异的东西，就像万圣节是我最喜欢的节日，到现在依然如此」 Ellis 说道。他不断的在网上寻找新的废墟，甚至利用 Google 地图来探索那些无人居住的场地。在这三年多以来，他造访了纽约城中 50 个不同的地方，这一系列 150 张照片则构成了这本 Abandoned NYC 摄影集。最近网站 WIRED 对他进行了采访，可以前往阅读完整内容。
