Wil Crooymans

Photographer Wil Crooymans has been capturing abandoned buildings since 2014 in collaboration with adventurous models, a concept known as urban exploring (urbex). His photos combine the beauty of the models with the decaying splendor of castles, abandoned industry, and churches. The contrasts between feminine beauty and the rugged architecture bring these locations to life in a unique way. Crooymans started out of curiosity and later refined his work by incorporating models. Their shared passion for the project resulted in Abandoned Beauty photos, which capture the forgotten grandeur of these buildings and share it with the public.
