Cities of the Dead | Nichilismo in Fotografia

New Orleans‘s cemeteries are referred to as “cities of the dead” because the imposing tombs with multiple residents make them appear to be city like. This gallery includes many photographs from New Orleans’s cemeteries but also from other cemeteries around the world.

Ronald R. Ferrucci, aka Nichilismo in Fotografia photographs abandoned places, cemeteries, and decaying urban landscapes...amongst other things. This is his portfolio website as well as a place from which you can purchase his photographs.

Portfolios are found under The Victims distributed to specific subject matter. Here you can explore his photographs of New Orleans (The Big Uneasy), Cemeteries and Funerary Traditions (Cities of the Dead), New Orlean's Black Masking Indians (We won't Bow Down), Urban Exploration (Visions of a Dying World), the American Southwest (In the Land of Edward Abbey), and Italy (My Ancestral Homeland). You can also Stare into the Abyss (ie, search for photographs) if you dare.

Below, you can follow us (I mean, it's your funeral).

Whilst one can purchase photographs from the various portfolio pages, you can also find photographs for sale under ecommerce. Here, you can also find one-offs, sale photographs, and other items such as postcards, and odd sizes.

In addition to prints of different formats, you can also request special matting and framing (he does all his own) or different, not specific, sizes.
