Weekly Inspiration: Troy Paiva

California photographer Troy Paiva has been capturing nightscapes since 1989; his work identifiable by his use of neon lights emphasising eerie night scenes. Troy spends much of his time alone, in the middle of nowhere, photographing abandon buildings and junkyards.

“I love the surreal feeling of wandering through an abandoned subdivision, alone, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night. Your senses become heightened and you feel the weight of time.”
