I'm a French artist, and my name is Dimitri "Jahz Design." I graduated as a graphic designer. I have always been interested in history and architectural remains. It was in 2013 when I developed my interest in the urban photography of heritage in disuse. My first exploration was an ancient cemetery of military ships.

I travel the globe looking for forgotten places in urban decay. Today, I want to share with you the most beautiful abandoned places around the world.

Also, check out my posts about the most beautiful abandoned castles, Georgian Soviet-era spas, European abandoned theaters, and lastly my most beautiful places around the world (part 1 and part 2).

I have previously mentioned that my fascination with urban heritage in disuse started around 2013 as I got and developed further interest in photography. During all of this time I have visited more than 2,000 places around the world in what now would be almost 10 years. With my photos, I try to draw our attention to our civilization that is in a constant mutation to ephemeral memory.

When looking for a new abandoned place to visit I tend to find most of the places by reading old press articles, on satellite images (Google Maps). I also try to ask for information from the inhabitants of the countries I'm about to visit. During this long journey full of discoveries I even got the chance to oversee the Soviet Buran spacecraft program in Baikonur (Kazakhstan).

Truth to be told, I never travel alone, I have several fellow photographers with me. I do not recommend traveling alone - you are not immune to an accident or a bad encounter. Out of all the places, I visited my favorite one has to be the former Soviet BURAN space shuttle hangar in the Russian Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan which I mentioned previously.

Each place has its story. My favorite story is the one where I searched for two days for the last public statue of Stalin which had disappeared for more than 10 years in Georgia. With that being said, I don't recommend people to go and visit these places. They are very dangerous places where most of the buildings are collapsing and falls can be deadly. These are also private places that are not open to the public, so it's another thing to consider.
