Photographer Christopher Payne‘s Asylum series investigates some of the now abandoned mental health hospitals throughout the USA. Although the associations of these buildings are now not always pleasant, they were once a symbol of civic pride, often designed by leading architects of the day. Christopher has captured these abandoned buildings in this hauntingly beautiful series.
