Louisville Noir is a photographic portrait series by Tom LeGoff of the many characters residing in the city of Louisville. The photos are classical portraiture that comment on the subject’s personality by using simple props or locations. Then, in the tradition started by Julia Margaret Cameron, the subjects become characters in Tom's fictional narrative Louisville Noir. A viewer who looks at these portraits of people from Louisville will begin to give iconic noir titles to them: the femme fatale, the enforcer, the politician, the matriarch, the mastermind, the informant, the detective, etc.
"These images were made during my self-imposed residency in early 2014. As an outsider, the name and history of Louisville have always conjured mysterious/romantic imagery in my head. I have always felt it would be where characters in a Tom Waits song or Jim Jarmusch film would be running to, or away from."

The show runs through December 4th.
