While I Was On My Honeymoon, I Captured The Darker Side Of The Glamorous Las Vegas (23 Pics)

As a big fan of capturing street life, I didn’t want to go to Vegas to enjoy the big name shows and glitz but to see the dark reality of the “Haves and Have Nots.” There’s a desperation in everyone. The tourists wanting to strike it rich at the casinos, the hustlers making money off of them, and the destitute looking for scraps.

I hate the “obvious” pictures people can take in a city like Vegas, the easy shots, the selfies while getting drunk. I wanted to photograph what other people tried not to see, the person crying about a broken heart, the man yelling for his mother, the couple hugging and not sure of their next direction. I couldn’t waste an opportunity to be in a city and not document the forgotten and/or silent ones.
