Many Photographers,

use natural light or a flashgun or two to illuminate their subject,

 not so photographer Elsa Bleda, who captures hazy moments that linger on the outskirts of the cities she visits in Eastern Europe and South Africa, Bleda is drawn to nighttime scenes bathed in coloured light, such as a flock of pigeons illuminated by pink neon,  

 or a lone gas station emitting an eerie blue glow, 

  the images she chooses to shoot also have a limited human presence, which gives an almost undesirable or frightening feeling to the work’s empty streets,

 and snow-covered buildings, 

 almost as eerily, car headlamps,

 can give the same uneasy edge to the pictures, previously, Bleda has presented exhibitions showcasing images she has taken in Johannesburg and Cape Town, Her upcoming solo exhibition with Red Bull will take a look at Durban, South Africa. You can view a preview of her exhibition alongside a list of songs the photographer chose to fit the mood of each work on Redbull’s website, more of her night-based images of South Africa and Istanbul can be found on her Facebook, and Instagram, what a lovely atmospheric series of photographs.
