Artist Statement
Shot over the course of three uncharacteristically rainy nights in Los Angeles the series Noct Angeles explores the architecture of LA in the dead of the night.
Each image acts as a stage for an untold narrative each containing infinite questions and no discernible answers.From outside, as the photographer there is a constant fear of being discovered, inside the residents live in constant fear of being watched yet neither of us mean each other any harm. The images seek to convey the tension, paranoia and fear that is so prevalent in Los Angeles.
Focusing on minute changes in lighting temperature and embracing flare and backlight, the series seeks to find the cinematic moments in the everyday. Using long exposure in the darkness the camera acts as a bridge to another world just beyond our perceptions.
