This summer, before I went on my 18 day Route 66 road trip, I spent a day in Detroit. For some reason I had never been there before and had always wanted to go. It was also a lot cheaper to fly and rent a car in Detroit than it was in Chicago. I have always wanted to explore the insane urban decay in Detroit because as tragic and depressing as it is, it’s also amazingly beautiful.

I reached out on Twitter for suggestions of places to go and models to shoot and I was introduced to fetish model Dixie Comet and the famous Detroit Packard Plant. Dixie was living in Detroit at the time so I picked her up from her apartment and we drove around Detroit. We got out a few times and took photos but our main destination was the plant. As you would imagine it’s an abandoned Packard Plant that has fallen into ruin. It is one of the most incredible places I have ever seen. It’s massive and looks like photos of Europe after bombings in WWII.

Dixie and I wondered one building in the plant for a couple hours and didn’t begin to see the whole thing. You could a month there and not run out of things to photograph. Dixie and I shot a ton of photos and ran into a few graffiti artists, some homeless people and even a crew shooting a music video. Everyone was surprisingly friendly and we took some epic photos. The only problem was that I ended up stepping on a nail that went into my foot and I was pretty sure I was going to get tetanus and die. Fortunately I did not and I am alive to show you these awesome photos.

Check out all the shots I took of Miss Dixie Comet at the abandoned Packard Plant in Detroit. 

Ps. There are high resolution images from this set and a bunch of exclusive extra explicit shots to my Girls of DBB app! Get it for yourself for X-mas!
