居住在布魯克林的 Will Ellis 是一名喜好探險的攝影師，喜歡在紐約城中不斷地冒險，與此同時也捕捉到許多在這繁華城市中被遺忘的角落，並展示在他的網站 Abandoned NYC 上。他拍攝的作品中包含許多令人毛骨悚然的場景，美麗的外觀下藏著一個個破舊冷清被腐蝕的空間。「我迷戀上這樣的視覺效果，還記得當我還小的時候就喜歡詭異的東西，就像萬聖節是我最喜歡的節日，到現在依然如此」 Ellis 說道。他不斷的在網上尋找新的廢墟，甚至利用 Google 地圖來探索那些無人居住的場地。在這三年多以來，他造訪了紐約城中 50 個不同的地方，這一系列 150 張照片則構成了這本 Abandoned NYC 攝影集。最近網站 WIRED 對他進行了採訪，可以前往閱讀完整內容。
