TROY HESS is a renowned photographer and rural explorer based in Rusk County of Northwestern Wisconsin. His diverse array of images often depict colorful and dramatic imagery. His passion for photographing abandonment began with a search for provocative subject matter. Residing in one of the poorest counties in the state, he was reluctant to find an obvious choice, as the abandonment in his area was plentiful. Over the past decade, Troy has captured the boundless abandonment littering the Rust Belt.
