PINHOLE  AFTER GLOW

---

The After Glow series acts as a compelling photographic excavation of Las Vegas, stripping away the city’s characteristic neon glare to reveal its skeletal architectural identity. Using pinhole photography, these images trade immediate sensory overload for archival, sepia-toned permanence. Long exposures diffuse the Strip's frantic movement, leaving quiet, depopulated monuments of consumer spectacle—from discarded signage at the Neon Museum to the faux-historical facades of the Venetian, NY NY, and  Caesar’s Palace. Without the distraction of artificial light, iconic landmarks like the Blue Angel Motel sign, wedding chapels, and roadside marquees stand as stark, sculptural artifacts. Through this deliberate technical approach, the series registers Las Vegas's built environment not as a transient playground of excess, but as an eerie, meditative landscape of modern ruins.
