Stefanie Moshammer is a Danish photographer who produced a captivating, highly personal photo series during a recent two-month stay in Las Vegas. Moshammer spent her time documenting the exact grit that most have come to associate Vegas with, but captures it in such a way that it seems to honor her subjects.
The series touches on the contrasting nature of a city like Las Vegas existing in a barren desert and surrounded by mountains, which appear especially still and silent against the backdrop of a city where the party never has to stop.
Captured in the series are locals, dancers and details like a dusty pink Cadillac and a no frills concrete pool that perfectly illustrate the combination between high-rolling luxury and instant gratification.
