As the title says, does anyone know of any vacant/abandoned factories/industrial slums that I can use for photography? Has to be local, somewhere in the bay area...

I know there are plenty out there, I just need to find them. I used to take pics at the old cannery in Niles, but they tore it down, so I need a new spot.

Thanks!

Daniel

 

alameda base, treasure island. oakland........ lol

 

portions of potrero hill in san francisco, and the bayview/hunter's point area. i know you have firearms, so that's the only reason i would send you to bayview. i think you'd be able to defend yourself. my ***'d get shot.

 

Let me know if you find a good spot Daniel

 

Mare Island has dozens of buildings. Barracks used for fire training, industrial buildings left and right.

 

But there's no access, I used to work there sometimes ... it's locked up pretty tight I think.

 

I'll see what I can do about getting access - usually I drive right off the exit on Hwy 37 and drive right onto the base. From there, I usually turn right within about a 1/2 mile, and park right beside the abandoned barracks for shooting photography there. I've also inspected the warehouses which are a bit further down, and if you don't mind crawling through the access holes, you can get right into the buildings. I thought he's looking for exterior building shots with his car, however.

 

I think there's a place in Alameda in some sort of military space. I believe there's public access cause I went to some sports complex there. It might have been called Bladium. Lots of warehouse bunker looking things that might be of use to you.

 

+1 to the old naval base and treasure island

 

Thanks a bunch guys. I really appreciate it!

Maybe we can do a photoshoot somewhere once we find a spot. Industrial slums + nice cars = GREAT photography. Maybe I'll get some of my hot model friends to come along for eye candy models too?

 

woot!!

 

Should I bring a few model releases??

 

if you dont mind i would like to bring some of my photo equipment too

 

If you drive around East Palo Alto,you will find many examples of a post-Armageddon wasteland. Make sure that you're packing or you will never emerge alive.

 

Sounds like fun - maybe I can bring my mini if it's Treasure Island.
