In the Heat of the Night Vol. 13: Bye Bye Summer

by | Sep 1, 2023 | FASHION, MUSIC, NIGHTLIFE, PHOTOGRAPHY, STREETWEAR & SNEAKERS

It’s sad to say but summer is coming to a close for this year. Over the 3 months, our team has documenting a city that never really sleeps, painting a portrait of the post-sunset scene.

This is our last week of this series and Jody Adams, our resident photographer, hit up the outdoor stage at Brambly Park. From there, it was off to Babes, where the show was over the top. Next stop — the mystical vibe of Reveler / Orbital Music Park, where the tunes had people dancing.

Finally, past midnight there was no better way to sign off than a final soiree at Helen’s.

Much love to our friends at Bingo! Beer Co., with whom we’ve teamed up to chronicle this unforgettable summer. Here’s raising a Bingo Lager to you fine folks, thank you.

‘Til next summer, keep the party rolling.

Capturing the vibrant soul of RVA through my lens as I bridge the gap between social anxiety and artistic pleasure. Passionate about nightlife, murals, and intimate portraits, with a special focus on culture and art. With a camera in my hands I have found my place in this life helping to simultaneously create and preserve lasting memories. I believe my work reflects a unique perspective, blending vulnerability and beauty in captivating imagery.
