Since moving to Brooklyn in 2011, Timothy Murray has become ubiquitous on the nightlife scene focusing his camera on bars and parties. Digital photography’s advancements in low light photography have allowed him to candidly reveal the true realities of the counterculture souls who haunt and revel in the neighborhood.

Subjects appear both paralyzed by anxiety and animated by desire as they bond in celebration.

This nocturnal existence fuels the engines of true human passion, joy and intimacy for those brave enough to dive into the colorfully illuminated darkness.
