About Late Night Polaroids
Influenced by Weegee's gritty street photography, Brassai's Paris images and the work of Jill Freedman and Walker Evans, these black and white portraits are a collection of late night flashes that capture the energy of downtown Savannah, Georgia after dark. “I use a Polaroid ProPack camera to document the people who frequent the bars in this swampy city, where it’s legal to leave with your drink and go out into the streets.” Though bars and clubs are where people go at night, the streets and sidewalks are where they really meet. These images are a glimpse of the characters and the drama that ensues. A show of fashion, lust and loneliness comes to a close each night only when the houselights come on.
Work from Late Night Polaroids is included in private collections in the Southeast, as well as the Permanent Collection of Atlanta's High Museum of Art, where they have been displayed in In Between: Adolescence Through the Camera alongside five other photographers including Bruce Davidson and Mary Ellen Mark. Recently featured by Polaroid and The New Yorker, Late Night Polaroids was also shown at MOCA-GA, in the FRESH 2019 exhibition at Klompching Gallery in New York, the international photography festival Rencontres d’Arles in Arles, France as well as in Candela Gallery in Richmond, VA in 2019.
