by Chris Perez
First published 2016
This photography collection presents 99 fine art nude images captured across Colorado's abandoned locations. Chris Perez spent a decade from 2006 to 2016 documenting models posed within these forgotten spaces. The photographer combines the human form with derelict buildings, empty structures, and deserted sites throughout the state. Each image pairs the vulnerability of the nude figure with the decay of once-inhabited places. The collection explores themes of impermanence and beauty through the contrast between living subjects and abandoned environments. Perez's work captures both the fragility of the human body and the slow deterioration of man-made structures across Colorado's landscape.
