Anthony Presley | The Memphis Noir
The Memphis Noir Photography Series examines and documents encounters I had when I first moved back to my Hometown. After not living in the area for more than ten years,
I realized that while this was my home and where I came from, I had been gone for so long and was a completely different person.
The Memphis I remembered did not exist.
The series is my effort to give the city a portrait from the different perspective that I could bring to it.
Inspired by Film Genres like Film Noir, Neo-Noir, Giallo, and Arthouse, the objective of the series is to show the beauty of the area and the individuals that inhabit this cinematic area.
