Photographer seeking night workers for portraits (Los Angeles)

compensation: an item from 7-11 less than $20
Calling all nightworkers. I am a photographer with an interest in street portraiture. I have previously completed a series of photographs called 'Pay with Cigarettes' where I would charge people who wanted to bum a cigarette from me a photograph as payment. These portraits formed a book and exhibition. You can see some of that work here: https://nilsdavey.com/Cigarettes

My new series is focused on Nightworkers. Bartenders, taxi-drivers, delivery people, security guards, strippers, hospitality workers, valet drivers, hotel staff. I want to take a portrait of YOU when you get off shift. You must work a night shift or a shift that ends at night-time.

To make it more interesting I will bring YOU your favorite post-work item from a 7-11 that costs no more than $20. You get off shift and you want a cold coke? You want an ice-cream? You want a packet of cigarettes or a beer? I got you covered. I'll meet you at your place of work as you clock out, give you your desired snack / drink and take your photo in front of your place of business.

These images are NOT headshots or portfolio pieces but part of a broader series of personal work.

This will take no longer than 5 minutes of your time and you get a little present when you clock out.

Email me with your name, job (Im trying to cover as many vocations as possible), typical shift times, and desired item and we'll schedule a time.

Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.
