Night view of the Wilson Doughnut Shop, taken on June 1st, 2025, in Wilson, North Carolina. The empty, silent scene is marked by the contrast between the surrounding darkness and the shop’s glowing blue awning, evoking a cinematic atmosphere filled with mystery and urban nostalgia.

The photography of Rodrigo Paredes captures for eternity the ephemeral. His own struggles with loneliness, distrust, abandonment, and the passage of time commiserate with the subjects of his images. They reflect feelings of abandonment, desolation, neglect, and pain suspended in a singular frame.

Born in Avellaneda, a province of Buenos Aires.
