# Moody Motel Portraits Vicky Moon's Neon Light Photography Captures Los Angeles at Night By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-12-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-light-photography References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/2014/12/30/los-angeles-neon-lights/) & [vickymoonphoto](http://www.vickymoonphoto.com/) Photographer Vicky Moon's neon light photography captures Los Angeles at night. The artist's [moody and urban portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-sun) feature a [fluorescent theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence) and highlight the city's most eye-catching neon signage. From local motels to liquor store and laundromat storefronts, this photo series evokes a mysterious air. Vicky Moon's neon light photography will appeal to lovers of Neo-noir films like Bladerunner and Drive. The films' dreamlike aesthetic is one that resonates with this series. Verging on the surreal, this series of Los Angeles portraits captures eerie moments in time. Because they are captured in the middle of the night, these images are strangely calm and creepy, featuring no living subjects but only the distant flicker of pink and electric blue lighting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Neon Light Photography:** There are opportunities for disruptive innovation in developing new techniques and equipment for capturing neon light photography. - **Urban Portraits:** There is potential for disruptive innovation through the use of augmented reality or mixed reality technology to create interactive urban portraits. - **Neo-noir Aesthetic:** Disruptive innovation can be found in the development of new digital filters or editing techniques that replicate the Neo-noir aesthetic in photography. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore disruptive innovation by developing new tools and technologies specifically designed for neon light photography. - **Art:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in the art industry by merging traditional photography with interactive technologies to create immersive urban portraits. - **Film:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in the film industry through the creation of new visual effects and cinematography techniques that replicate the Neo-noir aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md) - [Night QSR Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-night-posters.md) - [Astronaut Night Light Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/night-light-projectors.md) - [Personalized Light Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-light-art.md) - [Moon-Inspired Column Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/column-lights.md) - [Emotional Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection.md) - [Moody Cocktail Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-sun.md) - [Forgotten Theme-Park Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forgotten-fantasy.md)
