Bryan Sansivero's haunting photography career all started when he stumbled upon an abandoned home in rural Pennsylvania.
Bryan Sansivero was driving on a long, windy road about 45 minutes outside Philadelphia when a dilapidated home caught his eye.
"I was so intrigued," he told Business Insider in 2021.
Sansivero pulled over in an apple orchard and made the trek up to the stone home, which he estimates was built in the 1700s.
He recalls peering through the only open window of the house. Among the crumbling and decaying walls, he spotted an elegant piano.
"This is so strange, and it's beautiful," Sansivero remembers thinking.
Naturally, he stepped inside to snap a few photos.
