I Capture The Strange Folklore And Atmosphere In Nevada’s Desert Around Area 51 (27 Pics)

The dust had settled in Nevada after the “Storm Area 51” event that happened a few months ago. With this in mind, I thought it’d be a great opportunity for my personal flashback of the area. Last summer I photographed, along with photographer Alice Wexell, around the Area 51 region in the Nevada Desert.

We spoke to local people and drove back roads towards the gates of the facility. As expected, lots of UFO and alien depictions and paraphernalia could be seen around the place, as it is a true place of myth for urban folklore.

No aliens were spotted, though. However, the landscape is surreal and at times feels out of this world. I hope you’ll appreciate my gallery of the notorious Area 51!
