STATEMENT: Russell Cox is a native of Springfield, Missouri, and documents a combination of the ordinary and odd in his city at night, where the atmosphere of downtown serves as a backdrop for the various characters in his photos. He became interested in photography after being inspired by the work of street photographers like Daildo Moriyama, who takes candid photos of everyday people and embraces the grittier elements of photography like blur, low light, and noise.
