I don't think I've posted these before. My business partner used to own a club that did mainly hip hop music and events. He commissioned me to take photos for a website that never got built. They had a so called "professional" out before me who said he couldn't get shots because the place was too dark. A tripod goes a long way.

1)
The sign over the building. I did a little PS to isolate just the neons and remove any background so it could be used as the site's logo.

2)
The main interior shot. The only thing not shown is the bar to the right. I figured this was the best shot to show off the inside.

3)
Sitting area off of the dance floor. This place used to be a strip club, some of the carpet got reused.

4)
Game Room. Pools tables, etc...

5)
VIP lounge. Knowing people and telling the females that you have exclussive access to the VIP section of one of the larger clubs in the area is always a plus. Actually, getting to use it, even better...

6)
VIP 3/4. Unfortunately, I was out of it that night and using the tripod without a timer gets you shots that are a little fuzzy.

My village called. I was told that they missed me.

Hey Village I., your photos look spaced out! I thought they were a bit saturated and garish but then when you mentioned that it used to be a strip club, well it really does look like one, what with those loungy furniture and black light effects. Not that I frequent them, mind you.;) I think these are well taken photos, though I feel they would be better if there were some people included, models posing as clientele, waitresses, strip..... oh you know what I mean :)

Well, this is one of the bartenders who used to work there and offered to do some modeling for me. The good kind of modeling mind you.
