Photography can be artistic and pleasing. But it can also be a form of storytelling. Instead of using words, images can tell stories, motivate thoughts and stimulate feelings.
Here is one example by a young photographer who captures the essence of abandoned structures. It's as if the viewer can 'hear' the silent voices or see the ghosts of former inhabitants. This to me is what makes photography an art form with purpose.

Photographer Johnny Joo captures the human elements in abandoned structures.

Photographer Johnny Joo's work reminds us why we love abandoned structures or are spooked by them. If you want to see more of his work, check out his Facebook page or pre-order his book here.
