Gas Station Portraits

I’ve always loved shooting photos in industrial and commercial spaces. Lately I’ve been exploring that interest at my local Chevron. The lighting— stark, bright, and entirely overhead — is utterly fantastic. As someone who’s interested in issues related to the lack of proper public space — especially in LA — I get a kick out of claiming quasi-public spaces, such as a gas station, as a place to make art and tell image-based stories.
