Neon Diner

Top 25%

Late-night American diner photography — flickering fluorescent tubes, vinyl booths, chrome countertops, coffee rings on formica. Saturated color negative film, everyday American vernacular, deadpan subject matter treated with pictorial seriousness. Hopper × Eggleston: isolating light, deadpan color, the vernacular treated with pictorial seriousness.

Available for hire

Neon Diner shoots the loneliest, most beautiful hour of the American roadside — the 2 a.m. shift when the pie case glows like a stained-glass window and every chrome surface holds a ghost of someone who just left.
