Neon Noir

from $35.00

After the last light of the sun has vanished, the desert night belongs to the neon. This is the Blue Swallow Motel as a scene from a hard-boiled detective novel, all deep shadows and electric color.

The inky black of the night sky creates a perfect void, forcing the neon to paint the entire scene. The iconic sign washes the classic car and the pavement in a surreal, saturated glow of blue, red, and green. The light isn't just on the building; it is the building, turning the office into a crimson beacon and catching the chrome on the car like a flashbulb. It's a moment of pure, cinematic drama on the Mother Road.

A signature piece from the "Neon Dreams & Golden Hours" chapter of "The Great American Roadtrip" collection, this is Route 66 at its most moody and electric.

Print & Medium

This photograph is defined by its extremes: the deepest, inky blacks of the night and the hyper-saturated, almost liquid-like colors of the neon. A paper with a simple luster or matte finish would flatten this image, taming its wild, electric energy.

For this print, I highly recommend the Moab Slickrock Metallic Pearl. This is a specialty paper with a unique pearlescent, high-gloss finish. It is designed for images just like this, with a metallic base that makes colors appear almost three-dimensional. It will render the black sky as a true, deep black while making the neon colors and chrome highlights shimmer with an energy and pop that no other paper can match.

"Neon Noir" is available in sizes up to 24x30 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
