Looking for Atlantic City is the latest project from French photographer Franck Bohbot, who specializes in cinematic shots of public spaces within metropolitan environments.
Bohbot's previous series' include shooting the last few remaining theaters that were built in the golden age of cinema, public pools, parks and the city streets of his current home, Manhattan.
His latest series captures Atlantic City's famous boardwalk, which features the typical beachfront attractions, from snow cones and funnel cake to amusement park rides. Browsing through Bohbot's photos will make the viewer feel like they are almost there, meandering through the smog-filled boardwalk at dusk, eyes pulled in a million different directions, from each lit-up sign. The series, like Bohbot's others, intrigues the senses in a sensational, cinematic way.
