There’s a certain magic to dimly lit bars and pool halls—the way neon signs hum softly, casting warm glows on worn-out tables, the rhythm of a cue ball rolling into place, and the stories exchanged over games played late into the night. For this portrait series, we wanted to capture that feeling—gritty yet cinematic, moody yet nostalgic, like a scene pulled from an old film or a memory softened by time.
The contrast of deep shadows and neon light created the perfect setting for a shoot that felt both intimate and bold. Her red leather jacket slipping off a shoulder, fingers tracing the edges of a cue stick, lining up her shot—these are the details that make the photographs. The worn textures of the pool table and the flickering bulbs add to the ambiance, evoking a sense of something both familiar and fleeting, like a moment you wish you could freeze in time.
This series isn’t just about playing pool; it’s about the energy of the night, the cool confidence of the setting, and the way nostalgia clings to places like this. It’s about capturing a mood—a little bit reckless but entirely alive.
