Dreaming Neon Lights by Francesco Rinella
Francesco Aglieri Rinella is a photographer based in Italy who approaches each composition using a slowed-down process to understand each scene and lighting situation.
His work also draws influence from the New Topographics movement, documenting the Man-Altered Landscape evolving through time and marking cultural and historical points of view of a simple yet effective panorama.
Dreaming Neon Lights is part of his West Safari series, an expedition of the American West and Southwest, traveled by automobile, which documents the decay of a now-defunct era, abandoned even if known and acclaimed in modern culture.
