Dietmar Eckell has traveled the world in pursuit of ruin. His portfolio is filled with mystifyingly beautiful pictures of abandoned buildings, forgotten military sites and decomposing cars. For his newest project, he tracked down 15 rotting airplane carcasses left over from crash sites where there were no fatalities and everyone was rescued.
“We hear enough about air disasters in the news so I didn’t feel the need to dramatize that in my photography,” he says. “Instead I wanted to give the viewer a positive ‘wow’ effect.”
