No Vacancy is an ongoing photographic series documenting abandoned hotel interiors that have sat vacant for nearly five to thirty years. With several failed attempts to bring each hotel back to life and plans of demolition, these structures await an uncertain future. In my work, I’m often drawn to abandoned places that appear to be frozen in time. I use my camera to examine these places that have been forgotten by society. Through the use of color and light, I attempt to capture the beauty the once existed in these magnificent environments. By photographing these hotels, I hope to provide a visual record of what might be lost forever.
