“Darkroom Demons is not just another nightlife blog; It is a window into dressing rooms, popular culture, candid celebrity appearances and great music. Co-founders Tyler Curtis and Matt Reeves have worked diligently to
become two photographers who operate outside of the box for the mainstream client in all mediums whether it be Event, Editorial, Portrait, Food and Beverage or concert photography. They have earned a reputation that puts them in front of everyone from Barack Obama to Jenna Jameson. They are also reputed to be terribly dapper and charming.“
Anyway, just thought I’d share some pictures I found on the Darkroom Demons Web site from when I was at Crobar a couple months ago.
