late night conversations
with the city
Filmmaker and photographer Daniel Soares introduces his atmospheric new photo project ‘Neon Nights’ shot in New York City. It’s an ode to the city that never sleeps.
‘Neon Nights’ is a photographic love-affair I have with New York and it’s nocturnal lights. By day New York can be an overwhelming, dirty and loud city, but at night it morphs into this fairy tale of neon lights where time seems to stand still. People’s stories become part of the photo, and I often find myself asking “What are they going for in the store? What are they buying, what’s their life like? Why are they grabbing cigarettes at midnight?”
