He is called Alejandro, @alex.zandro on Instagram, and is a photographer who publishes shots on his social media with a strong impact and a unique beauty. We discovered it by chance, captured by the image: a market open 24 hours and a woman standing in front of it, all framed by darkness. The contrast between the dazzling neon lights and the black of the context gives a ghostly, mysterious air to the entire composition. The scene was taken in an American city between Chicago, Los Angeles or New York and we only know this because Alejandro himself specifies it, because for what we see, the photograph could have been taken anywhere, in any city or even on a set. 

The American photographer manages to photograph the light in an almost cinematographic way and, although the details, the silhouettes of the faces and buildings that we can see are very few and essential, the shots can give back to the viewer much more. We can even feel the cold of the road and the heat of the illuminated interiors.
