"I made this series because I was interested in trees being lit up at night. I would drive around the Northeast and search for the brightest lights and photograph the surrounding foliage. Many times, the plants and trees were the only things lit by these very powerful and carefully placed light sources. I thought it was a strange use of energy, and wondered if it kept the trees awake, while at the same time exposing a latent fear of the dark."

Sophie T. Lvoff is an emerging photographer and curator known for her romantic large- and medium-format color photographs. Lvoff often refers to literature to describe her work: "I'm in agreement with Raymond Carver," the artist says. "Most of my stories, it seems to me, could take place anywhere." Nevertheless, she is most widely recognized for her photographs of neon-lighted honkey-tonks and the red twilights of post-Katrina New Orleans, where she lives and works as a member of the artist-run collective Good Children Gallery. Airplanes, rockets, choppers are also common themes in her photographs. She is drawn to the space race and aviation, she says, "for their transitory nature."
